Summary
Staff Product Designer with 10+ years across enterprise platforms, internal tools and consumer commerce. I turn complex business rules and user needs into practical workflows, from document management to travel booking. My work combines hands-on design, product experimentation, mentoring and AI-assisted research and prototyping.
