My design journey so far
I'm a freelance designer with 7+ years of experience making products fun, clear, and easy to use. I've shipped 20+ products reaching 50+ countries, working with teams like PlayShifu, Google, and Evolved.
I started in education, teaching in real classrooms, so I know how to turn complicated ideas into something anyone can pick up. I work best with startups and consumer apps that want people to come back, not just download.
