About

I’m a product designer with 10+ years of experience across digital product, systems, and spatial/brand design, currently focused on complex B2B SaaS products in climate tech. I design and lead end-to-end product experiences, translating complex business and technical requirements into scalable, user-centred solutions across the full product lifecycle in close collaboration with cross-functional teams. I’ve owned end-to-end product areas across multiple teams, contributed to platform expansion into new use cases, and mentored junior designers within product teams. My background across product, branding, and spatial design gives me a strong systems-thinking approach and high sensitivity to both digital and physical user experiences. I’m particularly interested in leading design at scale, shaping product direction, and strengthening design systems within complex product environments.
