Senior Product Designer turning messy systems into experiences people actually trust

For the past 8 years, I've shipped consumer products at scale, generative AI tools that change what's worth a designer's time, sleek interfaces across mobile, web, and desktop — always mapping the journey before touching the screen.

Unpacking complexity to bring ASL learning to 850M+ users

Partnered with the Deaf community to design an AI-powered ASL learning experience on Snapchat — leading 18+ user interviews, 3 MVP tests, and a full roadmap to ship an accessible educational tool for global users. Accessibility was the starting point, not the afterthought.

Turning 240M+ impressions into revenue through partner alignment

Self-initiated a UX audit framework for NYX's AR experience that became the platform standard for partner content — aligning brand goals with UX and driving measurable sales impact. Adopted across 10+ partner lenses.

Scaling a content format to a 169% engagement surge

Built the loop between creators and their audience through scalable templates and production tooling. Part of the work was human: I coached 5 visual designers transitioning into product roles, and their input shaped both the process and the outcome.

More problems I’m proud to have solved

An ML pipeline too complex for creators to use

Generating 3D characters from images and text prompts was technically possible, but the workflow was built for ML engineers, not creators. I redesigned a fragmented, expert-only ML pipeline into an intuitive workflow. By mapping creator journeys and shaping clear, trustworthy interactions with ML engineers, I cut creation time from days to hours and gave creators the confidence to experiment with advanced technology.

Service Design · Global Nonprofit

A volunteer ecosystem that didn't talk to itself

Coordinating thousands of volunteers across countries with a tight budget and no margin for delay. I designed the end-to-end service experience for World Cleanup Day's volunteer coordination app: mapping distinct journeys for organisers, local team leaders, and individual participants, identifying where the touchpoints between them created friction, and designing interactions that worked for all three.

Conversion Design · A/B Validation

Premium AR users couldn't see what they were paying for

Snapchat's premium AR content had a conversion problem — users hesitated because the value wasn't visible before purchase. I designed content preview features grounded in behavioural insights, validated through 6 A/B tests, and boosted subscription conversion.

How I work

01

Ethical design

I design for how people actually feel, not just what they do. Every choice is weighed against the emotional experience it creates: does this make someone feel capable, trusted?

02

Purposeful research

I don't do research to check a box. I run discovery interviews, community-led testing, and rapid MVP experiments to find the insight that unblocks the roadmap.

03

Cross-functional leadership

I align teams, build momentum, and guide cross-functional partners. I build enough shared clarity that the right decision becomes obvious to everyone in the room.

Having these items on my to-do list

  • Design for World cleanup event.
  • Work in the Canadian Parliament.
  • Advance emotion-led design techniques.
  • Master Dutch to B1.
  • Speak at a technology conference.
  • Cycle the IJsselmeer route.
  • Connect with you.
