<aside>

I turn ambiguous, complex problem spaces into structured, actionable systems—aligning user needs, business goals, and real-world constraints.

Enterprise design experience since 2005

Worked with cross-functional teams and C-level stakeholders (incl. workshops with former SAP Co-CEO, Jim Hagemann Snabe)

I work on problems where the solution isn’t obvious—and that’s exactly the point.
