I’m a Lead Product Designer who partners with early-stage and enterprise teams to deliver high-impact product work as a hands-on super-IC while strengthening their overall design practice. As a Super IC and Player-coach: - Lead 0→1 product design across complex, technical product environments - Simplify fragmented systems into clear, scalable user experiences - Mentor designers through real projects (not theory) - Build cross-platform design systems for multi-product teams - Accelerate exploration using AI workflows and multimodal prototypes I’m in Figma, Cursor, Lovable, Claude, GPT, and scrum workflows every day. You get a Staff-level IC who can: - Execute at the level of your most senior designer - Unblock teams through direct, hands-on problem solving - Interview and evaluate design hires (because I'm doing the work with you) - Improve team velocity with clearer specs and fewer meetings - Provide direct, honest feedback that saves time and engineering cycles Impact Highlights - Led Hilton’s unified booking platform 0→1, integrating legacy systems into one ecosystem. - Built multimodal AI prototypes for cybersecurity and fintech using GPT and Figma pipelines. - Designed cross-border USDC payment and invoicing workflows for global fintech and Web3 teams. - Streamlined space and defense data visualization platforms for analysts and operators. - Created orbital tracking and geospatial UX across 2D and 3D aerospace environments. - Designed immersive Justice League VR interfaces, shaping gameplay and spatial interaction models. - Built parent–child learning and safety systems for Disney’s global kid platform. - Developed in-vehicle situational awareness and navigation UX for GM’s future vehicle systems. Ideal for Teams That Need: - Senior-level design execution paired with practical direction - Someone who mentors designers through real, hands-on work - A designer strong in complex, technical product environments - A collaborator who thrives in ambiguity and 0→1 concept-to-launch cycles - A partner who helps shape strategy and executes it personally Not the Right Fit If You Need: - A pure people manager (I genuinely enjoy doing the work) - Branding-only or visual-only design support (I focus on product systems and growth)

During my career break, I completed two Generative AI courses, explored new AI-driven design workflows, and built prototypes that improved speed and stakeholder clarity. I also spent time working remotely and traveling across Italy, Switzerland, Sweden, and New York, while prioritizing my health and losing 40 lbs to recharge for the next phase of my career.
