Hi, I'm Robert! I'm an experienced design lead with a strong focus on teambuilding, stakeholder management, and complex problem solving. Domains I've worked in include pharma, energy, healthcare, finance, and government. My background in design and entrepreneurship helps me identify key opportunities to improve the user's experience, add business value, and finding the right balance between costs and benefits.
 
I have strong focus on UX/UI, teambuilding, stakeholder management, and product development. I am driven, methodical, a sponge for new knowledge, a real team player, and not afraid to venture into the unknown.
