I am always up for some good conversation and connecting with people with very different viewpoints. Whether you are a designer, a student, or a lovely human being. (I don’t talk to aliens.. anymore)

My leadership style? It's all about empowerment and passion. I believe in giving my team the freedom to innovate while providing the support they need to excel. I foster a culture where everyone's voice matters, where we challenge each other, and where creativity thrives. I'm not just a boss; I'm a mentor who's in the trenches with the team, pushing boundaries and making things happen.
Design without purpose is just decoration. I start by diving deep into what our users need and what the business aims to achieve. It's about connecting the dots between user desires and company objectives. I make sure every design decision drives value, moves the needle, and contributes to the bigger picture. It's strategic, it's intentional, and it's all about impact.
Absolutely. At CareerTruth, I led a ground-up design of our career management platform. We didn't just make it look pretty—we made it sing. By focusing on user experience and streamlining workflows, we boosted user engagement by 35%. It was a game-changer for the company, driving growth and setting us apart in the market.
I create an environment where ideas can fly. No bureaucracy, no red tape—just pure creative energy. I encourage my team to take risks, to think big, and to not fear failure. We brainstorm, we experiment, we learn. I make sure they have the tools and the freedom to push the envelope because that's where real innovation happens.
Feedback is fuel. I tell my team to embrace it, learn from it, and use it to get better. We're all about growth and continuous improvement. If something isn't hitting the mark, we don't take it personally—we roll up our sleeves and fix it. Ego has no place here; we're focused on delivering the best possible work, period.
