Senior UX / Product Designer · who codes

Designing products
that align users,
systems & business.

Most recently: a multi-tenant SaaS platform taken from workflow mapping to production code. Before that, hotel operations and enterprise catalogue systems - always the messy, workflow-heavy products where design decisions live or die in the details.

How I Work

AI-Augmented

Design and build with AI

I use AI across both design and development - rapid prototyping, prompt engineering, agentic coding, and shipping LLM-powered features.

AI PrototypingAgentic CodingLLM Features
Philosophy

Systems Before Screens

Before opening Figma, I map roles, permissions, and data flow, because most enterprise UX problems turn out to be workflow problems.
