As a strategist, I bring structure to complexity. I help teams see the bigger picture: what users need, what the business aims for, and how technology fits in.
My focus is on clarity, direction, and collaboration that leads to meaningful outcomes. I enjoy connecting ideas across disciplines and turning insights into decisions teams can rally around.
For me, good strategy is less about control and more about creating shared understanding.

Strategy should be tested, not guessed.
I design the flow, not just the interface.
Research only matters when everyone understands it.
Data without context is just decoration.

Mentorship is how design becomes everyone’s language.
Feedback works best as a conversation.
Mentorship isn’t a process, it’s a rhythm.
People grow when they feel safe.
Mentoring isn’t about giving answers. It’s about helping people find their own.
I try to build trust, create clarity, and keep a steady rhythm so designers can grow with confidence and independence.
