Understand people first, then design for them.
Twenty years in, it's the only approach that consistently ships work that matters. I lead UX teams that turn research into impact.
Human-centered, research-driven, AI-fluent. In that order.
UX leader
I lead UX teams across timezones and complicated org charts. The work I'm proudest of shows up in the careers of the designers I helped grow.
Designer at heart
I came up through design and front-end development. Twenty years on, I still open Figma every week. I never wanted 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, not censored. The numbers and the lessons are real.
I've led UX into work that needed it, ready or not.
The kind of work where the org chart is as much of a challenge as is the product. Fortune 5 enterprise platform transformations, regulated environments, onshore and offshore teams. Wherever the work needs leading.

The work I'm proudest of isn't necessarily the prettiest.
It's work that saves users time. Work that makes someone's day less frustrating. Work that lands in the lives of the people on the other side of the screen.
That's always the goal. I design with people.
They're the reason any of this matters.
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.
