Designing for the workflows
that matter most

I'm a lead product designer focused on enterprise and lab management software, where the stakes are high, workflows are complex, and good design directly impacts real people's productivity and livelihoods.

I work closely with developers, product managers, QA, data teams, and end users to uncover the real problem before proposing a solution. Design without research is just guessing.

A recurring theme in my career: being brought into complex, inherited work and quickly orienting to identify gaps, drive progress, and align stakeholders. I've grown comfortable in ambiguity — and I've learned that the best designs often come from asking the right questions, not having the right answers upfront.

Research first.
Always.

Every project starts with understanding the problem before touching a frame. I push for time with real users, dig into workflows, and align with engineers and PMs early — because decisions made without that context tend to get undone later.

I'm most effective in ambiguous environments where the problem isn't fully defined yet. That's where good questions matter more than good answers.
