Problem solver & startup nerd

I'm a product designer who has built 3 startups that didn't take off, yet my passion for solving real problems by creating impactful products has never been higher.

I've learned a lot about understanding and empathizing with users' pain points and business KPIs to develop products users would love and drive growth for the company.
