As a key member of the design team at Abzu, I led our design team from the conceptualization stage to a successful product launch of the Reason app (With +500 users in the few weeks the product was live).

After a business pivot, I'm doing it again, my current focus is on the product vision and strategy, while doing discovery and validation.
