About Me

Product & Design Leader

Building next-generation fintech and healthcare platforms, and partnering with founders to turn ideas into real products.

I’m a Product & Design Leader with nearly two decades of experience building high-impact products across fintech, healthcare, and emerging technologies. My work spans product strategy, UX/UI, brand, and hands-on implementation, often acting as the connective tissue between vision, execution, and the teams responsible for both.

Over the years, I have collaborated directly with CEOs, C-suite leaders, and cross-functional teams to build products from zero to launch, especially in highly regulated industries where clarity, trust, and seamless UX are essential.

Today, I lead product, design, and brand for a stealth fintech company that is building next-generation infrastructure for global value movement using stablecoin rails and modern UX principles. In parallel, I selectively partner with founders and teams who need multidimensional product and design leadership to accelerate clarity, execution, and go-to-market strategy.

What I Do

I help founders and teams turn bold ideas into scalable platforms through deep product thinking, brand-led design, and AI-enabled execution. My approach combines:

Product strategy & roadmap design

UX architecture, interface design, and prototyping

‍Brand development and narrative framing

‍AI-native product workflows
for rapid prototyping, front-end development, and iteration

Cross-functional leadership connecting product, engineering, design, and compliance

Investor storytelling and deck development

‍Team coaching and design systems
built for speed and scale

Guided By

Clarity over complexity — break down the hard stuff, build the right thing first, communicate simply

Design-led execution — product and brand should be inseparable from the earliest phase

Velocity with precision — build fast without sacrificing trust, usability, or quality

AI-enabled systems — use tools that amplify creativity and accelerate execution

Who I Work With

Teams looking to go from 0 → 1 with confidence and strategic clarity

Startups needing a product and design partner who can bridge strategy, design, and working code

Teams who value clarity, candor, and outcomes over buzzwords and fluff
