Portfolio

As an experiened product designer, my role entails wearing multiple hats from hands-on, end-to-end design to strategic leadership. I’ve led user research, concept development, prototyping, and high-fidelity design, while also building and managing design teams, influencing product strategy, and increasing design maturity across organizations. A key part of my work is helping teams become more user-centric and showing how design can drive meaningful business impact.

Recent Projects

Below  is a quick overview of the more tactical projects where I led the full design process from research and ideation to prototyping and delivery. I’m happy to share more details about specific projects over email or a call.

Causaly

Principal Product Designer

At Causaly, I led design across multiple initiatives aimed at accelerating drug discovery for biomedical researchers. In a fast-moving and technically complex environment, I helped shape the strategic direction of our product by translating scientific workflows into intuitive, connected user experiences.

​

My role combined hands-on design with high-level thinking driving holistic solutions across our suite of tools, aligning product vision with user needs, and ensuring our AI outputs remained transparent, trustworthy, and actionable.

I also played a key role in improving design maturity at Causal advocating for user research, establishing clearer design processes, and positioning design as a strategic partner within the company.

Docker Extensions

Staff Product Designer

At Docker led the design of a new feature called extensions on Docker Desktop. As of now, extensions is the most adopted new feature in the history of Docker. Some of the contributing factors to this is the novelty of the feature itself but also the early experiments that we ran to find the right product market fit and the overall product experience we built to facilitate the discovery, adoption, engagement and retention of the feature.

​

My role included designing the experiments, gathering early user insights, identifying opportunity areas, creating concepts, building designs, defining UX metrics and user testing.​
