About
Through 13 years of product experience, I've honed a treasure trove of critical skills in research, design, strategy, collaboration, & management to craft the best fitting products for both users & businesses.
I have a wealth of experience across industries, products, team sizes, B2B, B2C, and working styles. I balance business needs and user risk, finding the "right-fit" solution for every problem without sacrificing quality.
