See All Testimonials
I’m a design lead & digital product designer focusing on mobile & web. I've been doing this for 14 years now, with companies ranging from early stage YCombinator startups, through established Silicon Valley companies like Medable, up to to big corporations like Vodafone and T-Mobile.
I quickly soak up knowledge, identify what can be improved, and then build alliances across teams to make that happen. If you need impeccable user experience, and beautiful user interface on top of that, I'm your man.
I create design systems and I build complex prototypes too. Besides that, I write code. Therefore I thrive in cross-functional roles in fuzzy environments.
