Senior Product Designer with an engineering background—more than a decade in tech, moving between design, frontend engineering, and back to design. Today I ship in the codebase while owning design, research, UX, and high-fidelity product work.
I care most about developer tools and inclusive web: accessibility in IDEs, CLI, and the browser. Lately I'm also teaching at university and masters degrees, lecture on design systems and accessibility. Sometimes, I audit websites and design systems for accessibility, write, and speak at events — contributing to a more inclusive web.
What motivates me: empathy for users, accessibility, and teams obsessed with craft, curiosity, and technical excellence.
