The story so far

UI/UX Design Lead turned Digital Transformation Manager with 20+ years designing and building digital products across insurance, government, retail and e-commerce. I lead end-to-end design for web and mobile — research through prototyping, visual design and front-end delivery — with deep hands-on expertise in OutSystems, HTML5/CSS3/JavaScript, Figma and Adobe Creative Cloud.

Comfortable owning a design system, mentoring delivery teams and shipping across CMS, low-code and native platforms. Sales- and outcome-oriented, and adaptable across multicultural teams.
