Staff Product Designer & Systems Architect
For over 15 years, I've designed enterprise platforms, point-of-sale systems, and operational software that power tens of thousands of businesses worldwide. The workflow starts with problem solving—building alignment, understanding the core problem, and developing a strategy to accomplish it. Then it moves to design, which can be in Figma or directly in code.
