About

I'm a product designer focused on complex, multi-role systems, the kind of messy workflows and platforms that are hard to simplify.

I bring a few years of UX experience across startups and client work, and right now I'm building Arteve, a platform helping musicians find gigs and grow their careers, from the ground up.

What I care about most is taking an idea all the way to something real, understanding the problem deeply, designing with clarity, and iterating until it works outside of Figma.

Increasingly that includes building it myself: I've used AI-assisted coding to ship front-end work on a live product.
