🏠 Based in Orlando Working worldwide

🚀 Currently available for freelance projects

As a product designer grounded in UX and strategy, I focus on building experiences that feel right to use, and make sense to ship.

What I do?

[01]

UX Design

Research

Flows

Wireframes

I shape product experiences around real people. Whether I’m mapping journeys or untangling flows, I focus on usability, clarity, and momentum — not just pixels.

[02]

UI Design

Visual Design

Systems

Prototyping

From rough layout to refined component, I build interfaces that look good and feel right. I work in Figma daily, using design systems and interaction logic to bring it all together.

[03]

Product Thinking

Strategy

Framing

Collaboration

Design doesn’t happen in a vacuum. I work closely with PMs and engineers to make sure the experience holds up under real-world constraints, and actually ships.

Design Strategy

Scoping

Prioritization

I help shape what should be built — not just how it looks. Whether it’s defining MVP, aligning with user goals, or mapping out scalable UX, I bring clarity to chaos.

FAQ

Wondering how I approach projects or what working together might look like? Here are a few quick answers to common questions from teams and collaborators alike.

What kind of work do you take on?

I’m open to both full-time product roles and freelance design work, especially projects that involve UX research, mobile app design, or systems thinking. I also enjoy jumping into early-stage product strategy and usability testing efforts.

Do you work with existing designs or just from scratch?

Either works. I’ve jumped into mature products to iterate on existing flows, and I’ve helped build fresh ideas from zero. Whether you have rough wireframes or need help figuring out where to start, I can meet you there.

How do you approach collaboration?

I believe the best work happens through honest conversation. Whether it’s design critique, sprint check-ins, or async feedback. I try to keep things clear, respectful, and aligned to the goal.

Do you offer development too?

While I come from a frontend background, I currently focus solely on design. That said, I work closely with engineers and always design with dev feasibility in mind.

How do we get started on a project together?

Reach out with a quick overview of what you're building or need help with. I’ll get back to you, and if it's a fit, we’ll align on scope, timing, and deliverables before kicking off.
