Hands-on support
I’m a product designer with 10+ years of experience working across enterprise and consumer products, currently at Microsoft. My work has spanned AI, productivity, fintech, healthcare, and real estate—usually focused on taking complex systems and turning them into clear, usable experiences that scale to millions of people.
I’m especially interested in the gap between “good design” and “work that actually ships.” A lot of my day-to-day is about aligning teams, translating research into direction, and helping products move from concept to reality in large, sometimes messy organizations.
On MentorCruise, I’m here to help designers break into the field, level up their craft, and get unstuck
