I occasionally talk about different aspects of my career through presentations, podcasts and online articles. Being a self-taught designer that has learned so much from different people around the world, I love being able to share back with the product design community in the topics where I can help other designers grow.

Despite the focus that this portfolio has on processes, management and research, I am a strong believer that if not paired with a great visual execution, products can very easily fall short of impact.

Thanks for taking a look.

In the era of infinite scroll, getting to the vertical end of a page is often underappreciated – thanks for doing that! If you'd like to get in touch, my preferred channels are LinkedIn or email.
