When ideas are raw, messy, and full of potential, I help turn those early sparks into real, usable products that users love. For me, designing from zero to one isn’t just a phase — it’s where creativity, clarity, and impact meet.
A Product Designer with a decade of experience helping startups go from idea to traction.
I blend product thinking with design craft to create products that are not just beautiful, but strategic and scalable. Having been a founding designer multiple times, I know what it takes to shape products from zero to ten — balancing speed, usability, and business goals
