About

I'm a product designer on a mission to make the digital world more human. I bring 10+ years of experience driving impact at B2B and B2C startups, where I've led end-to-end feature launches and UX improvements for web, iOS and Android products. I enjoy facilitating the cross-functional creation of strategic visions, demystifying data to craft holistic design solutions, and improving design operations through thought leadership & mentorship. In my free time, you'll find me snapping photos of tiles in Lisbon, advocating for mental health, and brainstorming ways to advance diversity, equity, inclusion & belonging (DEIB) in tech.
