profile
I’m an Interaction Designer with extensive experience in Product, UI/UX, and Visual Design, currently designing at GitHub. I focus on the human dynamics in design using collaboration and communication to build digital products together with multiple departments and roles.
My background includes leadership roles at GAN Integrity, where I designed enterprise products for known brands and led a team of multidisciplinary designers. And, creating tools for designers at Sketch for web and macOS.
Outside of work, you’ll find me playing Nintendo video games, taking photographs — or just geeking out.

Collaboration is an essential part of a designer’s workflow. Doing that on canvas introduces brand new levels of efficiency. But what happens when a designer moves beyond the canvas?
