UX/UI & Product Designer · Open to new roles

I care about the people who use a product and the people who need it to succeed.

I design where experience, psychology and business overlap, and my engineering background keeps it buildable.

Selected work

Two case studies, from research to tested prototype.

From precision engineering to product design

A quick look at who’s behind the work.

I’ve always been curious about why people do what they do. I read a lot of psychology, and the part of design I enjoy most is when people do something that surprises me. That’s usually where the real problem is hiding.

I’m an overthinker, and I’ve learned to point that at the work. I question my own decisions before anyone else has to, and I’d rather hear “this doesn’t work” early than find out after launch.

Before design

About 1 year as a CNC technician in AutoCAD, Siemens NX and SolidWorks, then front-end development, including sites for a global transportation company. I know what a design costs to build.
