Understand people first, then design for them.

Twenty years in, it's still the approach that holds up. I lead UX teams that turn research into impact.

Human-centered, research-driven, AI-fluent, and in that order.

UX leader

I lead UX teams across timezones and complicated org charts, and keep the work pointed at what users actually need.

Designer at heart

I came up through design and front-end development, and I still open Figma every week. I never want to stop making things.

Human-centered

Every product is a relationship between the people who built it and the people who use it. My job is to keep that relationship honest.

Research-driven

I lead with research, workshops, and the kinds of conversations that surface what users actually need. The strongest design decisions are the ones I can trace back to evidence.

Most recent work sits under NDA. Those entries are abstracted to respect the NDA. The numbers and the lessons behind them are real.

Hard problems, and what the work changed.

The kind of complex, high-stakes work that doesn't leave room for error. Fortune 5 platform transformations, regulated environments, onshore and offshore teams.

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.

About me

I stay calm when the ground moves.
