about

I worked in advertising in my previous career, producing campaigns for mom-and-pop shops to top-tier accounts like Google, HBO, Nike, Sephora, Nordstrom, and Saks Fifth Avenue.

Pandemic hit and I took it as an opportunity to rediscover my core foundations in design. I delved deep into fintech, Web3, blockchain, and SaaS. Started trading and learning investment strategies.

Somewhere along my non-linear path, I found my new calling in product design and financial services.
