About

I’m a business-minded creative who navigates the unknown with enthusiasm when designing platforms and processes. Currently, I’m supporting a global organization in scaling its ops model; by reducing toil and serving the consumer in a hyper-local and personalized way. My focus is enterprise retail, merchandising and software design.

With over 10 years of mentoring and leading teams, I’ve earned a perspective enables me to craft end-to-end strategy at multiple altitudes, from user flows in consumer apps to macro-level value chain improvements on the enterprise side. I believe good design helps us make life richer, and good research helps us make bold bets. 🎲
