What I’m searching for: A mission-driven design team (healthcare, AI, fintech, e-commerce...you get the idea!) where collaboration isn't just lip service. I want to design game changing stuff, mentor others, and learn from the best.


Impact and strategy-driven: A meticulous, and experience-obsessed product designer, I enjoy guiding strategy with user-centered insights and thrive on end-to-end journeys. E-commerce, travel, healthcare, and hospitality are some of the spaces I’ve worked in, focusing on complete experience and product journeys.


Traded real estate for impact: Nearly 8 years in real estate, I pivoted to design seeking a blend of creativity, mission-driven problems, and social and business impact. UX was my gateway in 2017. Once I started, I craved the bigger picture in product, taught myself UI design, and kept honing my craft.


Downsizing was my upskilling cue: Taking the time to focus on my health and family, I expanded my toolkit with AI and spatial design, and sharpened my communication.
