I'm a lead product designer at Expedia Group, turning complex B2B problems into simple experiences that millions of hotels actually enjoy using. Outside of work, I find balance in surfing and stay curious by learning new random skills—whether it's juggling or attempting to land a kickflip.

Expedia—Making design critiques better for everyone
Expedia—Making design critiques better for everyone
How do you make design reviews less painful and more valuable? I created HEROES, a framework inspired by Six Thinking Hats and BlaBlaCar's simplification reviews (because why reinvent the wheel?). The result? Our team transformed those awkward feedback sessions into energizing conversations that actually drive better design.

A collection of everything I find fun to work on—from branding concepts to fun and simple AI interfaces. These design adventures fuel my curiosity and keep me out of my cozy comfort zone. And hey, they've somehow reached 90k views and hit 10k downloads (not that I'm counting… okay, maybe I am).
