I've spent 6+ years making technical products usable
Whoever a product is for, people just want to get the job done, fast and without friction. I design around the person and the task: simple for them, valuable for the business.
I've been the founding designer twice — at Datafold and LlamaIndex, San Francisco startups — and today I'm Product Manager & Product Designer at Valprovia in Stuttgart.
Keeping Teams and SharePoint under control for enterprises. I own product and design together, end to end.
0→1 design for the LlamaCloud platform — its information architecture, the shared component model, and the Parse, Extract & Index configuration surfaces customers touch — plus brand direction and the first user-research practice. Grew through its Series A.
End-to-end design for Data Diff, column-level lineage, and IDE & Git integrations. Built and scaled the design function, and carried the design story through the Series A.
Mobile apps for patients and doctors — research, usability testing, and a shared design system.
Three principles that guide the work
Empathy first
Research and real conversations come before pixels. I design for the people who'll actually use it.
Make the complex clear
I dig into a hard domain until I understand it well enough to make it feel effortless.
Own the outcome
I stay accountable for the result, from first research to production — alongside engineering and business, never over the wall.
