About me

I’m a product designer with 12 years of design experience, including 6 in product design across B2B SaaS, cybersecurity, AI governance, and MedTech. With a background in industrial design, I lead projects from strategy to delivery, connecting product, engineering, and design through clear workflows and thoughtful design systems.
