Designing experiences that land — and systems that scale.

I build bridges between design and engineering through robust, accessible Design Systems. Over 10 years transforming complex digital products.

Focused on removing operational friction. I implement token architecture, native WCAG accessibility, and AI-powered workflows so teams ship value faster and with more consistency.

A bit about me

20+ years of constant evolution. I started in creative direction and advertising, but a love of structure and efficiency pulled me into product design and complex systems.

I’ve worked with product teams at large companies, in contexts where design has to scale without losing coherence — one foot in strategy, the other in technical execution.

I’m a Certified Scrum Master and a strong advocate for inclusive accessibility as a standard, not an option. Lately I’ve been focused on how AI can amplify design, not replace it.

I believe in a future where humans and machines collaborate to create digital experiences that are smarter, more accessible — and why not, beautiful too.

Outside work you’ll find me experimenting with AI, writing about design and systems, mentoring junior designers, playing guitar with my rock band, or getting my hands dirty with acrylics and markers.
