I started in engineering before moving fully into product design. That shift changed how I think.
Engineering taught me respect for constraints.
Human-Computer Interaction taught me to understand behavior.
Product design brought those together.
Over time, I found myself drawn to complex systems — products with moving parts, edge cases, performance tradeoffs, and real-world consequences. That’s where I do my best work.
I don’t design in isolation. I think about implementation, scale, long-term maintenance, and team velocity from the start.
For me, seniority isn’t about knowing all the answers. It’s about asking better questions early — and helping teams move forward with clarity.
