Founder | Head of Product at Mosaico & Independent Product Designer
From founding a design studio to launching complex software, I’ve led teams and products across every stage of growth.

Today, I’m the Founder and Head of Product at Mosaico, leading business strategy, product development, and brand growth. Alongside Mosaico, I offer independent product design and UX consulting services to businesses seeking strategic and practical expertise. I’m passionate about building strong product foundations, guiding teams, and helping businesses grow with clarity, empathy, and trust. Experience in startups, SaaS, and design industries.
