ABOUT ME
I am a seasoned UI/UX designer with over 20 years of experience crafting user-centric designs for websites, mobile applications, and software. My expertise spans the full design process, from concept to delivery, combining a deep understanding of cutting-edge technologies with the ability to navigate the unique dynamics of remote collaboration.
In my previous roles, I led and mentored a remote team of designers, fostering creativity and efficiency while delivering innovative solutions for diverse clients, ranging from agile startups to Fortune 500 enterprises. I’m known for my results-driven approach, consistently producing high-quality designs on time and within budget, even under the pressures of tight deadlines and complex requirements.
TL;DR
I’ve been designing products, apps, and websites since the days of dial-up. From scrappy startups to household names, I turn ideas into user-friendly designs that solve problems, create meaningful experiences, and deliver results that brands trust.
