I make meaningful connections between consumer needs and business goals to drive revenue, growth, and innovation.
With roots in Industrial Design, I bring over a decade of experience transforming ideas into market-ready products across consumer electronics, video conferencing, gaming peripherals, toys, and lifestyle accessories.
My expertise bridges creative ideation and analytical execution—from brainstorming new concepts and validating them through data and user insight, to managing global product lifecycles and aligning cross-functional teams. I’m passionate about identifying opportunities at the intersection of user empathy, market trends, and strategic business objectives, turning them into products that resonate with people and perform in the market.
