About

How I show up at work

I’m a calm, analytical person in environments that are often neither calm nor clear.

My default mode

At work, I help teams navigate complex systems by making them easier to understand and reason about. I’m comfortable operating in ambiguity, unpacking layered problems, and making assumptions, constraints, and long-term implications explicit. My background in business analysis influences how I approach UX today — helping teams clarify what decisions they are really making and move forward with confidence, without unnecessary rework.

When things get hard

People tend to come to me when a project becomes hard to reason about: when assumptions collide, responsibilities blur, or “temporary” decisions quietly turn into permanent ones. I don’t enjoy drama, power games, or winning arguments. I care much more about shared understanding, explicit trade-offs, and decisions that won’t break six months later.

How I collaborate

In day-to-day collaboration, I value clarity, respect, and honesty — especially when we disagree. I’m direct, but I try to stay kind. I believe good work happens in environments where people feel safe to say “I don’t know yet” and where difficult topics are addressed openly, not avoided.

What I’m looking for

I like work that rewards patience, responsibility, and long-term thinking — and teams that do the same. I’m looking for mature organizations where UX is treated as a decision-making partner and where collaboration stays constructive even under pressure.
