I bring 17 years of business analysis and quality engineering to design. I run requirement workshops, write BRDs and functional requirement documents, author user stories with acceptance criteria, and handle API and data mapping, so the design is grounded in real constraints and risk from day one.

Design
I work the whole product lifecycle. I run requirement workshops, write BRDs and user stories, then design research-led flows, IA, and high-fidelity systems. My BA, QA, and UAT background means I define the problem and design for edge cases and feasibility, not just the visuals.

I build production websites directly in Framer — this portfolio is one of them. Every design token is defined in Figma across all breakpoints before it's built: colors, type, icons, and UI components. I also create the supporting assets myself — logos and animations — using modern AI tools like Claude, ChatGPT, and UX Pilot, Figma AI to move from concept to live site fast.

I refine and modernize the product over time. I improve visual hierarchy, spacing, consistency, iterate from user feedback, and bring AI into the workflow to move faster and explore more. Each pass makes the experience cleaner, more polished, more current.
