[open contact info](look above in the "contact info" section)
Iˇm a versatile operator who thrives in the "all hands on deck" environment of fast-growing companies. Whether Iˇm wearing the hat of a Product Manager, Business Assistant, or Lead Designer, my goal is always the same: driving the company toward its next big milestone. My track record includes securing seed funding for Adashe after pitching to the NSIA as a founding member, and winning 14 high-ticket contracts in just four months for SlideSmith.

I donˇt just manage tasks; I build the systems that make growth sustainable. From designing end-to-end UI for fintech startups to managing international lead generation and sales for AI-driven firms like Epic Rose, I bridge the gap between creative vision and technical execution. Iˇm just as comfortable in Figma and Jira as I am leading a discovery call or managing a CEOˇs strategic priorities. Iˇm looking for my next challenge where I can use this blend of design thinking and business grit to scale something meaningful.
