I design internal tools and enterprise platforms that operational teams depend on daily:
audit workflows, broker portals, multi-step data-entry flows, and management dashboards.
Trained as an architect, I think in systems before screens; every project I've shipped has
been as solo designer working directly with PMs and engineering from discovery through handoff.
