§03 / About

Nine years making sure teams build the right thing for the right people.

I've worked across fast-moving web3 startups and decentralized protocols, most recently at Mezo Network, where I built the insight repository that became the single source of truth for 15+ stakeholders.

My background sits between research and product. I'm fluent in discovery, JTBD, and usability testing, and equally comfortable shaping roadmaps and aligning the people who build from them.
