Product Designer
Resume
I enjoy bringing ideas to life while crafting user-centered experiences that are equally aesthetic, functional and scalable.
With a strong visual design foundation built on a decade of design experience, I’ve established myself as a multi-faceted designer focused on product design in the last 5 years.
