I lead UX teams through the hardest part.
The part where the problem is still half-defined and nobody has drawn the path yet.
Eighteen Octobers running a haunted house, my longest user research project.
Designer at heart. Leader by practice.
Across timezones and complicated org charts, I lead teams and keep the work pointed at what users actually need.
I came up through design and front-end development, and I lead design better because of it. I never want to stop making things.
I see people where they are, and help them into their next role. I remove obstacles, and let them focus on the work.

How I got here.
Two design firms, five years independent, then more than a decade leading UX inside a Big Four firm. Along the way I got good at the upstream work, proud of the designers I helped grow, and committed to designing with the people the work is for.
How I lead.
I stay calm when the ground moves.
I make the complex make sense.
I build the people I work with.
I advocate for the people I lead.
