SR. PRODUCT DESIGNER + DESIGN LEADER

Real impact
takes shape
in the
in-between
In the moments that connect people, guide decisions, and move ideas forward. I create the conditions for design to thrive so product teams can deliver real, measurable impact.
This kind of impact doesn't happen by accident. It’s the result of intentional, repeatable actions driven by experience.
Here’s how I help teams get the most from their investment in design:
Shaping strategy with a clear, credible design point of view
Creating alignment that sticks and moves teams forward
Bring clarity and focus to complex, ambiguous problems
Building systems and processes that flex and grow with teams and work
Actively developing strong designers and high-performing, healthy teams
Translate real user insight into smarter product decisions
Ensuring design contributes directly to business results
Adding structure and discipline to a space often treated as organic
Useful
Intentional
Harmonious
These are the values at the heart of my design practice. They keep me focused, ensuring I deliver the right thing to the right people.
The design of that thing is critical. How it feels, how it functions, and how it fits into people’s lives. Whether I’m guiding design strategy or refining a single interaction, I bring an unwavering level of care to every detail.
Desgin Principles
Empathy for all
For users, teammates, partners, and the wider systems we’re part of. Empathy for all = better products.
Design has power
Harness it properly and you can earn trust, inspire action, and take products from simply functional to deeply meaningful.
ActionS speak louder
Bust silos, get organized, pull in the same direction, speak + listen to your audience, test assumptions, and celebrate wins.
Hold the Line
Not every trend, feature, or request belongs. Protect the vision, defend the user, and push for quality when it counts most.
Empowering Designers
Foster creative environments with intention and develop rituals and frameworks that empower designers to do what we do best.
Outcomes Over Output
Advocate for impact-focused design, where success is measured by results, not just deliverables.
Experience That Drives Impact
Over the past 15 years, I’ve shaped products and design practices across startups, agencies, and large enterprise teams. Each chapter has molded how I design, collaborate, and deliver impact.
My experience spans industries, platforms, and problem spaces - from enterprise applications and mobile apps to internal tools and e-commerce sites. But one thread runs through it all: people. I center the end user in the design process while also investing in the relationships, within teams and across disciplines, that make great products possible .
Whether guiding teams through ambiguity, mentoring designers, or collaborating with engineering, product, and executive partners, I’ve seen that meaningful impact comes from how we work together, not just what we ship.
