PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY

As a designer I don't just ship features; I focus on the experience and methodologies it takes to solve complex design problems. By blending systems thinking with storytelling (thanks to my roots in game and narrative design), I help translate heavy, intricate platforms into intuitive user experiences. I’m usually the person trusted to navigate ambiguity, define scalable interaction models, and build the frameworks—like user narratives and system maps—that align cross-functional teams. I work closely with product and engineering to make sure we're building roadmaps that drive both user delight and business value.
