About

I got into design at 15 when my brother deleted all my games, so I opened Photoshop. My parents were engineers, that's why systems thinking is just part of how I work.


16 years later, I'm a Design Director at Vistaprint, leading design across a DIY experience used by millions. Outside of work, I'm a father. I value time with my family, build side projects, and stay curious.

At Mineunit, I worked at the intersection of hardware and software, shaping the product experience together with a cross-functional team. I organized the design process end-to-end, from early concepts to execution, ensuring seamless integration between physical devices and the digital platform. This work resulted in a cohesive, user-friendly experience that went beyond pure software and into real-world product interaction.

This resulted in more intuitive booking flows and a stronger sense of trust in the product.
