Innovative Design Leader and Strategist
With a robust career in design leadership, I have spearheaded innovative projects across various industries. As Chief of Design at Mission 3A, I led design initiatives for over 10 startups, blending roles as a product manager and principal designer. My work included developing an enterprise IoT web app and a social creator platform, driving early customer acquisition. Previously, as Head of Design at Centerfin, I launched a fintech iOS app, ensuring regulatory compliance and streamlining complex banking processes. At Profess Design, I founded a headless design agency, managing teams for over 20 successful projects, including two acquisitions. My tenure at GoPro involved rebranding efforts and integrating Splice into their ecosystem, aligning design patterns across products. I also served as a Product and Design Advisor at M78 Ventures, guiding startups with strategic design frameworks. My expertise lies in creating user-centric designs that align with business goals and foster innovation.
