For the last nine years, I’ve worked as a UX and Product Designer. Prior to that, my background was in visual design and illustration. Bringing these skill sets together has allowed me to work across a wide spectrum, from branding, marketing, and informational sites to partnering with product and engineering teams to build web and mobile apps.

Alongside a product team and parallel to developers. Working with product owners and managers gives me the proximity to learn and understand the product or feature that needs to be designed. This proximity also tightens the communication loop between product and design, allowing all parties to quickly and efficiently build and pivot.

In short, as an accelerant. With the advent of LLMs and MCP servers I've been able to speed up my workflow by fast-tracking research and early design exploration. It's also allowed me to prototype ideas faster and helps me be more strategic by removing small points of friction.
