About

product designer

The swiss army knife of designers

With a background in business strategy and visual design, I bring a collection of skills to my life as a product designer. My strategic advantage is that my business experience informs how I think as a designer. From earning an MBA in 2016 to working in the management consulting world until 2021, I’ve learned the importance of designing digital products that blend high quality brand design with strategic insights and proven UX principles.

Skills I’ve collected along the way:

  • Product-market-fit

  • Visual brand design

  • Product roadmapping

  • Strategic design thinking

I also come to the table with over 5 years of experience leading teams, from my time at PwC and currently at UST. My leadership values center around the importance of passion at work:

  • Figure out what drives your team members, and nurture those passions.

  • Support your team in embracing discomfort, knowing that the only way to grow is to try things you aren’t necessarily prepared to do.

  • Fostering team trust within a system for useful critiques is how a team moves forward together.

I currently work as a Design Manager for UST, a global tech consultancy.
