About Me
My journey started in the startup trenches of Bangkok, where I led full product lifecycles as an Entrepreneur in Residence. Now I'm in Toronto, designing mobile-first products that actually ship.
I'm a Product Designer who codes — React, Next.js, the works. That means I design with engineers in mind, hand off without the chaos, and build things myself when needed. In the last year I've gone 0→1 on an iOS fitness app, led a B2B SaaS CRM dashboard, and improved task success rates by 60% on a redesign project.
When I'm not designing, I'm usually exploring side projects, learning new tools, or thinking about how interfaces can feel more human.
