Taste meets craft: I care about what good looks like and sweat the details across pixels, motion, and copy until the experience feels polished and intentional.

I don't design in a cave: I collaborate closely with PMs, engineers, and researchers from the early stages. I believe the best work happens shoulder to shoulder, not through handoffs alone.

I speak human, not just designer: I understand that stakeholders have different opinions, priorities, and deadlines. I focus on building alignment and navigating the messy middle to move good work forward.

I work with AI, not around it: I use AI to prototype faster, explore wider, automate repetitive tasks, and learn new skills. But judgment, empathy, taste, and craft remain human.
