About Me

I’m a multidisciplinary designer who has worked for ad agencies, design firms, and product companies. I currently lead a small product design team at the GovTech company, Euna Solutions.

Throughout my professional journey I’ve realized that my passion lies in building products and brands that help people. If that sounds like you and you’d like to work with me, please get a hold of me.
