When I hit a wall—when my knowledge or understanding falls short—I don’t wait for someone to hand me the answers. I buckle up and take charge. I communicate, I ask, I dig until I get what I need, and then I execute. That’s where my drive and my learning abilities shine.

Take my Machine Learning Redesign project. All I knew was that ML = data science and that it was complicated. I was an amateur. So, what did I do? I reached out to my team’s data scientist, set up weekly meetings, and made it my job to learn how ML works in our product. After that, I went even further—enrolled in a Product Design for AI & ML course at MIT Boston (online), earned my certificate, and kept building on that foundation. And you know what? I’m still learning. I’ll do what it takes, every time.

Every project starts with one question: What role do I need to play here?

I ask: Am I working solo, leading a team, or reporting up? In 12+ years, I’ve done all of it.

• Led projects end-to-end
• Worked in teams where I reported to someone higher up
• Managed teams and shaped product experiences
• Collaborated with QA, Engineers, PMs, and stakeholders
• Navigated startups, agencies, and big enterprise product orgs

Bottom line: I adapt and thrive, no matter the environment. That’s my USP.

Fostering good communication—with PMs, engineers, QA, stakeholders, tech writers, everyone—is non-negotiable for me. I’m vocal, approachable, and people know they can reach out. My experience shows in how I make my case, and it’s earned me respect over the years. It’s also let me lead, and keep getting better at it.

Some of my best lessons have come from collaborating with strong leaders: my director of design, startup founders, and sharp-minded PMs. I’m all about paying that forward—mentoring, sharing what I’ve learned, and pushing others to grow. How else do you move forward?

Collaboration is about asking for help, delegating, being willing to learn from others, and giving respect where it’s due. It’s about empathy, and doing what’s right for the product—even if that means setting your ego aside.

ASK. COMMUNICATE. COLLABORATE.
I can’t emphasize this enough.

1. Immerse: Step into the user’s world, see what they see, feel what they feel.
2. Ideate: Try everything—get creative, get practical, don’t regret the wild ideas.
3. Prototype: Make it real, get feedback, stay agile.
4. Refine: Iterate until it’s intuitive and it works for everyone.
5. Deliver: Bring everyone together—stakeholders, engineers, QA—and deliver something that actually works.

I design with the long term in mind. I’m a visionary, but I’m grounded.
Agile methods, quick prototypes, and design thinking are my tools.
I want to solve today’s challenges, anticipate tomorrow’s, and always leave room for improvement—even if it feels “done.”

• "When I need to create, I learn fast & execute."
• "When I need to lead, I step up."
• "When things go wrong, I own it & grow."

My leadership style is transparent and hands-on: I don’t just set direction, I build relationships, mentor others, and take responsibility when things go wrong. That’s how I grow—and help my teams grow.

If a user lands on a page I designed, they should feel like they’ve found exactly what they were looking for. No confusion, just instinct—like seeing a chair and knowing you’re meant to sit. That’s how I design. No guessing, no friction—just clarity.
