PRODUCT, DESIGN & A CURIOUS MIND
I’m stubborn about the problem.
Flexible about the answer.
When something gets difficult, I stay with it. I question the assumptions, untangle the complexity, and look for another way through. That’s what I bring to founding teams: a willingness to work through the uncertainty until we have something people can use.
My path has taken me through engineering, design, and product; across countries, industries, small teams, and large organizations.
Beyond work, I’m drawn to philosophy, world music, and . I want to make room for curiosity in what I build and how I live.
Sapere Aude.
Dare to think.
