5 months ago

I'm a product manager specialising in crafting product visions, driving strategies, and leading cross-functional teams to create standout tools for creators, designers, and businesses.

My journey began with mobile app concepts scribbled during university breaks. Over the past seven years, I’ve honed my skills as a Product Manager, Marketer, Designer, and Social Media Strategist, developing a unique product perspective and a passion for creating joyful, purpose-driven products.

From leading mobile products at BLOK to building software at GoDaddy, I’ve honed my discovery, design, and delivery skills, collaborating with designers, engineers, and business teams. I excel in defining clear product visions and developing roadmaps that align customer needs with business goals.
