Product Designer & UX Strategist
Product Designer who owns end-to-end experiences from research through shipped products. I connect user needs, business goals, and technical constraints to design systems that solve real problems. My work spans web and SaaS environments where clarity, accessibility, and measurable outcomes matter most. As founder of Articulate Digital, I design for small teams and solo founders, blending strategy and hands-on execution to deliver systems that work for real people.
