About

Product designer at Veriforce working on contractor safety and compliance products used by Google, Intel, and Merck.

Focused on making separate products feel like one: shared patterns, clear flows, and the design system behind them.

Designs in Figma and builds in React and Angular, with a design system both people and AI tools can build from.
