I like turning complex ideas into delightful products.

Comfortable navigating ambiguity, evolving strategy, and large-scale transformation.

Veteran of digital product design, platform strategy, and team leadership. Cross-disciplinary depth in user-centered design, systems thinking, and organizational acumen. Experience driving UX across distributed product ecosystems, aligning Product and Engineering around cohesive experiences, and shaping the operating models that help teams move with confidence.

Deep experience leading multi UX teams across both platform and application experiences. Focused on building strong design culture, practical decision frameworks, and durable systems that scale.

Proficient partner to senior product, engineering, and executive stakeholders. Experienced presenter and facilitator, able to translate ambiguous ideas into clear direction for teams, leadership, and clients.

This site reflects the team projects and initiatives I’m lucky to have been a part of. I care deeply about attribution and everything here was built alongside a team of talented, thoughtful collaborators.
