I make complex products feel simple.

Product designer since 2021, with a bachelor's in computer science. I design complex products in education, AI, security, fintech and developer tools, and I prototype in code alongside the engineers.

I'm a product designer. Over the years I've designed for clients like Torsh, Neotrust, Aftersale, Elation, R2UT and Confi.

I like the messy start of a problem: mapping a domain, naming things properly, and building prototypes real enough to test decisions with people, not just to show them.
