PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY

As a designer I don't just make deliverables; I focus on the methodologies, communication and intuition 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 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 platforms that drive both user delight and business value.
