I lead the design of products that resolve tensions between people and business

I design with a systemic vision, connecting decisions to business goals and people’s needs.

I translate strategy into measurable design actions on complex projects.

From communications to strategic design

I started in marketing, advertising and branding, but it was in strategic design that I found a space to turn ideas into impact.

My work isn’t limited to the interface, it’s aimed at sustainable results.

I’m driven by curiosity. I learn from other disciplines, take on personal projects and look for ways to expand design’s impact.

My view on leadership

Leading isn’t about having all the answers — it’s about asking challenging questions, enabling informed decisions and building environments where teams design with vision instead of just complying.

In recent years I’ve informally led teams of up to 6 people through adaptive leadership: leadership that facilitates, articulates and challenges. Leadership that drives forward, but also creates discomfort when necessary. Because design that doesn’t create discomfort rarely transforms anything.
