about
I work end-to-end: research, journey maps, product roadmaps, stakeholder alignment, high-fidelity prototypes. But the part I care about most is the framing that happens before any of that. Most of my work has been in aviation, where the user is a crew planner or a flight instructor, the domain takes months to learn, and getting the problem wrong is expensive. That's the work I'm good at.

Senior Product Designer in aviation enterprise software. 14 years in UX leadership across Boeing, Jeppesen, and Airbus, on top of 4 earlier years in graphic design, multimedia, and advertising that still shape how the work gets done. A master's in 3D animation sits in the middle of that path and explains a lot of how visual systems, motion, and spatial thinking show up in the products.

Recent work spans the redesign of Boeing's flight school LMS, UX strategy for an AI-assisted crew planning optimiser, the digital competency assessment tool for new EASA training standards, and the data analysis platform that replaced years of Excel work for crew planners at 6+ airlines.

Built measurement infrastructure where none existed. Led distributed design teams. Worked the seams between UX, engineering, and product strategy. Took aviation domain knowledge seriously, because in regulated industries it's the difference between getting the easy version of the problem and the real one.

I’m currently open to new opportunities across product design, UX, and product strategy. I’m especially interested in teams working on complex products where design can bring clarity, improve decisions, and create measurable value.
Let’s connect!
