I design like I drive: under pressure, with my name on it.

About Me

With 8+ years in product strategy and ecommerce, I help startups, founders, and scrappy teams move from chaos to clarity — whether that’s launching a new product, leading a redesign, or building a revenue-driving ecommerce store.

What I Bring

  • A decade of experience working with startups and product teams to design, ship, and grow meaningful products.

  • Commerce-ready websites for non-technical brands — especially in fashion, retail, and hospitality — helping them move from manual hustle to smooth sales.

Why It Works

I care about outcomes — not deliverables. My edge is in bridging strategy and execution, so we’re always moving, never stuck in analysis. If you’ve got ambition, I’ve got the structure.

Beyond Work: Racing & Quick Decision-Making

As a competitive motorsports driver, I live in the space between risk and clarity. That same split-second decision-making shows up in my work — fast reads, deep cuts, no wasted moves.

Where Structure Meets Outcome

Over the last 8 years, I’ve partnered with startups and scale-ups to build digital systems that convert, grow, and endure.

Selected Results
  • Increased eCommerce revenue by 30% through UX and conversion flow optimization
  • Designed an app that boosted engagement by 40% using behavior-led iterations
  • Built a scalable design system for a multinational, streamlining brand delivery and dev workflows

I build for function. The results follow.

Relentless Refinement. Always Evolving.

I don’t rely on experience—I sharpen it. Every month, I tune my product management edge through:

  • Applied growth frameworks and A/B testing strategies
  • Product analytics and retention insight work
  • Active learning inside top communities like Reforge, Lenny’s, and Mind the Product

This isn’t knowledge for knowledge’s sake. I apply what I learn—daily.
