Lead Product Designer

4½ yrs at Spotify. Optimising for impact and collaboration. Prototyping 🜃product strategy with leadership. Making people smile with lyrics and karaoke, chasing growth opportunities in Japan. Scaling decisions and quality with design systems.

15 yrs honing design craft, learning on the job and at the outer limits of my comfort zone. An explorer of the state of the art at Spotify, Microsoft, Nokia, TomTom.
