I’m a people-first Design Leader with 15+ years of experience leading multidisciplinary product and UX teams across consumer and enterprise platforms. I put the development of my team first to ensure they understand how to balance their advocacy of users alongside the business strategy. By building teams composed of complementary skills, I enable the building and maintenance of strong digital experiences. My mission is to unlock human potential through both the products we design and the teams we build, ensuring that every designer, researcher, and content strategist has the support, resources, and opportunities they need to do their best work while advancing their career goals.
I’ve built successful teams and products by
- Scaling teams strategically – From individual contributors to managers across multiple disciplines, I take time to ensure the make -up of the team has the skills and potential to match the needs to the business
- Creating growth-centered cultures – Implementing personalized development frameworks, competency matrices, and career progression pathways that align individual aspirations with business needs
- Establishing design as a business partner – Translating user insights and behavioral science, into strategic business decisions, securing executive buy-in, and demonstrating ROI through data-driven experiences
- Building operational excellence – Implementing design systems, processes, and frameworks that enable cross-functional teams to focus on high-impact work while maintaining consistency at scale
- Fostering psychological safety – Creating environments where team members feel empowered to take creative risks, share work in progress, and grow through experimentation and feedback
