Biography
Design leader with 20+ years of experience bridging the gap between creative vision and operational rigor. I don't just design products; I build the systems that make design teams faster, happier, and more profitable. Expert in transforming chaotic workflows into scalable engines, I have a proven track record of reducing delivery times by 20% through automation and DesignOps implementation. I combine a deep technical background with high-level visual strategy to solve business problems, ensuring that "making it pretty" never comes at the expense of "making it work."
