Sr. Product Designer
I’m a driven problem-solver who thrives on tackling complex and ambiguous challenges, most recently within the world of workforce management and time-tracking software. My approach involves breaking down intricate processes and systems, and translating them into clear, user-friendly designs that simplify complex workflows. I excel in autonomous environments, taking the initiative to address gaps or areas of improvement. At my core, I’m a creative with a passion for designing seamless, intuitive experiences that enhance efficiency and empower users.
Miniaturist
Building miniatures is a craft I deeply enjoy, where creativity meets precision in every small detail. Each piece, from tiny figures to delicate landscapes, requires patience and a steady hand, and I find joy in perfecting every aspect. For me, it's not just about the final product—it's about telling stories and creating immersive worlds, all while compactly showcasing my craftsmanship. Whether as a hobby or a more serious pursuit, like winning an HGTV competition show, building miniatures allows me to express my artistic vision while honing my technical skills.
