about
I’m a product designer who loves solving real problems with user-friendly experiences. When I’m not at my day job, I’m usually working on side projects, hanging out with my pitbulls (Cudi & Bella), or digging through bins for vintage Ninja Turtles figures and retro video games/consoles.
I’ve helped design and scale products across fintech, AI, the music industry, and more. From 0→1 launches to internal tools that saved companies millions and generated even more in revenue. I care about clean design, fast flows, and making smart decisions backed by data and user insight. If it has a purpose and needs to look good doing it, I’m in.

As the sole designer at Splash, I led all design and user experience efforts across the company.

My approach was rooted in data, combining A/B experiments, UX research, competitor audits, and user session replays to drive design decisions.
