About

Product designer, with occasional branding work for clients. I started as a digital artist and graphic designer in 2018 and moved into product in 2022. What keeps me in it is the daily problem of balancing what people need against what the business needs.

Along the way

People I've looked up to.

Over the years I've looked up to a lot of people who shaped how I work and how I think. In no particular order, and always changing.
