Curious from the start

I've always been curious about things. As a kid I would keep asking questions and trying things out until I understood how they worked. Sometimes until I found an answer, sometimes until I simply got tired.

That curiosity slowly turned into an interest in technology, systems, and logical thinking.

How I found design

I studied computer science, but what stayed with me wasn't the code itself. It was curiosity about how systems work and how different pieces connect.

That curiosity eventually pulled me toward product design, where I could think about both the experience and the system behind it.

Over time I started building things alongside designing them. Some of those experiments turned into projects like Shoot the Serif, Draw Your Font, and a few Figma plugins.

How I like to work

I enjoy working end-to-end on products. From understanding the problem to designing, prototyping, and sometimes building the product itself.

Most of my work begins as small experiments. Building things helps me understand ideas much faster than just thinking about them.

Experience

I've been designing products for about 5 years and have worked on a variety of products across B2B, B2C, and AI.

5+

years of experience

20+

products shipped

2M+

users impacted

End-to-end collaboration with design and development teams to build complete product ecosystems

What I'm looking for next

Growth

I enjoy working with people who care deeply about products. The best growth happens in environments where people feel safe to experiment, share ideas, and learn from each other.

Long-term commitment

I'm interested in growing alongside a product and a team over time. There's something meaningful about seeing a product evolve, improve, and succeed over years.

Work I believe in

I enjoy working on products that I genuinely believe in. Being able to contribute to meaningful features, systems, and improvements is what makes the work rewarding.

Tools & stack

I use to explore, design and build.
