Experience

Experience

I was most recently working as the Head of Design at North Star – a boutique growth accelerator for startups and tech companies on the verge of greatness. We completely redesigned innovative companies like Alokai, Momentum, and Hive, enabling their rapid growth.

Before that, I worked for Hofy, which was acquired by Deel in 2024. I led the design system implementation and strategic direction for product design. I worked across multiple product squads, solving complex device procurement and management challenges.

The principles behind my process

The principles behind my process

With 10 years of experience in visual communication, I’ve honed a keen eye for how digital spaces should look, feel, and function.


My approach is rooted in uncovering what makes each business or organization unique and translating those qualities into compelling, non-derivative digital experiences.
