About

I'm a Senior Product Designer with over a decade of experience building digital products across FinTech, from regulated institutional platforms to consumer financial apps.

But I took an unusual path to get here. Before I ever opened a design tool, I studied finance and law and spent time working in traditional industries where I learned how complex systems, regulations, and institutions actually function. That background means I can sit in a room with engineers, lawyers, and product leads and speak everyone's language.

About

My path into FinTech started in 2016, when I joined an early-stage venture building on emerging financial technology. That moment redirected my career, and I haven't looked back. Since then, I've designed products ranging from early-stage startups finding product-market fit to enterprise platforms that demand precision at scale.

At Polymath / Polymesh, I led product design for a regulated tokenization platform, one of the first of its kind. I translated deeply technical systems sitting at the intersection of financial infrastructure, regulatory compliance, and user experience into products that people could actually understand and use.

I led cross-functional teams through the full lifecycle: issuing, managing, and trading tokenized real-world assets (RWAs).

Across my career, I've built design systems from scratch, owned end-to-end product design, and partnered with product and engineering leadership to align design decisions with business outcomes. I care about raising the bar for the teams I work with, not just the pixels I ship.

My work spans consumer mobile apps, institutional web platforms, and the complex workflows in between.

I'm energized by where FinTech, AI, and digital finance are heading, and by the challenge of building products that drive real-world adoption in spaces that matter.

Long term, I want to help define what the next generation of financial products looks and feels like.
