Sr. Product Designer · Bay Area, CA

Design that ships.
Products that scale.

Systems Thinking AI-Augmented Design Product Ownership

Senior Product Designer with 10+ years building end-to-end products across enterprise, fintech, and AI-driven experiences — owning discovery, UX strategy, and execution from concept to launch.

I've shipped across Cisco, Microsoft, Walmart, and T-Mobile — and I'm building Indeats as a founder. I don't hand off. I stay through build, measure outcomes, and iterate on what ships.

About

Research-led. Outcome-obsessed.

Most designers skip the first diamond. I don't. Double Diamond, JTBD, Design Thinking — I apply structured frameworks because they consistently find the right problem before any screen gets designed. That's what separates work that looks good from work that moves metrics.

AI & Design
"I don't use AI to replace design thinking. I use it to accelerate exploration, iteration, and execution — without compromising judgment."
