About

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

I led the 2023 Enjin revamp solo across three verticals: Career, Forum, Community. Twenty user interviews. A shared component library. End-to-end ownership from IA to shipped UI.

The current role spans bilingual web, brand identity, print, and campaign content. Closer to a creative director's scope than a typical product role, executed solo, sketch to ship.
