I design intuitive, scalable products across enterprise AI platforms, financial infrastructure, and global consulting — turning ambiguous, data-heavy problems into interfaces people can actually use.

01 / 06How I work

Three ideas that show up in almost every project below.

Start from the mental model, not the screen

The hardest part of designing for AI-driven, data-heavy platforms isn't the UI — it's figuring out how the people using it already think about the problem. I run research and journey mapping before wireframes, not after.

Design systems are a product decision, not a chore

A shared, reusable Figma system across an enterprise platform's 3 product modules cut design-to-dev handoff time by 40%. Consistency compounds — it's usually the highest-leverage thing I can build early.

Compliance and constraints are design inputs, not obstacles

Designing for a regulated financial platform means the interface has to satisfy compliance requirements, not route around them. Structured stakeholder workshops up front save far more time than late-stage rework.

02 / 06Selected work

Enterprise AI, financial infrastructure, and internal tooling — from research through shipped design systems.

End-to-end UX for an enterprise AI platform used across 5+ business units — from research through a scalable design system.
