About

Product design, brand systems, and AI-native tooling.

Seven years of product design. Bilingual product work, brand and visual systems, motion and print. Solo end-to-end ownership is the throughline, from research through to shipped UI.

Since 2026 the personal work has been focused on open-source AI tooling: MCP servers, Chrome extensions, design-eng experiments.
