I began my design journey at 13, back in middle school, making graphics for classmates and friends. Working alongside them taught me something that's stuck with me since: design isn't really about the software, it's about understanding people well enough to build something they actually want. It also pulled me out of my shell in a way nothing else had.

That curiosity followed me from graphic design into product design, and more recently into learning product management. These days I specialize in Enterprise and Cloud SaaS, turning messy, cross-functional problems into interfaces people trust. I'm still that same kid who couldn't wait to see what he'd make next. I just have better tools now.
