A Bit About Me

I am a product design leader and startup co-founder with a unique background blending UX/UI design and industrial design. Most recently, I co-founded Lumiro AI, leading the end-to-end design and product strategy for an AI-native travel app that secured a spot in the Antler NYC accelerator.

 

With over a decade of experience, ranging from building 0-to-1 digital solutions to designing commercially successful hardware for global brands like Philips and Tefal, I specialize in bridging the gap between complex user needs, strategic business vision, and seamless execution.
