I'm a strategic creative and digital leader with 10+ years of experience building systems, narratives, and experiences at the intersection of design, technology, media, and research. I've worked across early-stage and growth startups, global platforms, and social-impact initiatives, often in complex, multi-stakeholder environments.
In mentorship, I combine craft guidance with systems thinking. I help mentees sharpen UX and product design skills, structure strong case studies, position themselves for new roles or markets, and design careers that reflect their values. Sessions are practical and tailored: we dig into your current work, constraints, and goals, then co-create a clear plan.
My experience spans YC-backed startups, Fortune 500 ecosystems, and impact-driven organizations across multiple continents. I bring real-world context from in-house, agency, and consulting environments, with technical foundations in computer science, design, and creative technology.
If you're looking for a mentor who will both challenge and support you while giving you concrete, real-world tools, I'm a good fit.
