10+ years designing AI-augmented products, scalable design systems, and user experiences that ship.
Let's collab

Design that moves at the speed of intent

I'm a Senior Product Designer specialising in AI-augmented design operations and scalable systems. With 10+ years across startups and global teams, I leverage design systems and AI workflows to compress design-to-development processes without sacrificing quality.

I've built an AI-augmented pipeline using Claude, Figma Make, and Linear that takes a product from requirements to engineering handoff in a single session. I bring that same approach to everything I work on — shipping faster, thinking in systems, designing for the long term.
