PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY

Designer who delivers value through the experience and methodologies I bring to complex problem spaces, not just the features I ship. Rooted in game systems and narrative design, I combine systems thinking, storytelling, and rigorous product design practice to translate intricate platforms into intuitive, immersive experiences. I’m trusted to set frameworks and direction through ambiguity, define scalable interaction models, and produce high-impact artifacts. Artifacts such as user narratives, experience frameworks, systems maps, style guides, and prototypes that create alignment across design, product, and engineering. I partner closely with cross-functional teams to shape roadmaps through user insights and design thinking, balancing user delight with business outcomes.
