I'm a design leader with 12+ years of experience who creates impact through cross-functional collaboration and craft excellence. My strong technical background and strategic approach enable me to deliver high-quality outcomes at pace, especially in the areas of {design systems, end-to-end experiences, and holistic product ecosystems}.
My adaptability and interest in new challenges has taken me to B2B and B2C start-ups, consultancies, and Fortune 100s across Travel, Fitness, FinTech, Compliance, Aerospace, and Education. Now, I bring to my teams a proven skillset that is transferrable across multiple industries and product maturity levels.
Design is our interface to the world around us. I embody empathy and accessibility principles in design and in life, centering my work around a deep understanding of people.
Design happens in conversation with others. I continuously learn from fellow designers and non-designers alike to better inform my craft and my ability as a collaborator.
Design is an instrument of influence that must be wielded with intention. I think deeply about what I want my design to achieve and only until it delivers upon its purpose do I sign my work.
