I bring strategic UX leadership across the full product lifecycle — from research and discovery through design, delivery, and measurement. Here's how I work.
UX Leadership & Strategy
From aligning executive stakeholders to scaling design teams, I bring structure and vision to complex organizations. I've led cross-functional teams across enterprise environments, defining design systems, processes, and roadmaps that deliver measurable business impact.
Experience Design & Research
I design with data, not assumptions. Through user research, A/B testing, and heuristic evaluation, I translate complex workflows into intuitive, human-centered experiences — from warehouse execution systems handling millions of transactions to e-commerce platforms driving revenue growth.
Design Operations & Process
Efficient design organizations don't happen by accident. I build the infrastructure behind great UX — design systems, Agile workflows, tooling standards, and cross-team processes that help teams move faster without sacrificing quality.
What This Looks Like in Practice
- Leading design reviews and critiques that sharpen the work without demoralizing the team
- Running stakeholder alignment sessions that turn competing priorities into a shared vision
- Building design systems from zero — tokens, components, documentation, governance
- Conducting research with real users and translating findings into actionable design decisions
- Partnering with engineering to close the gap between design intent and shipped product
- Mentoring designers at all levels and building cultures of craft and accountability
- Using AI-assisted tools to accelerate discovery, analysis, and iteration

COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequent Questions
I don't just design, I build conditions for great design to happen.
That means leading teams, defining strategy, running research, building systems, and staying close enough to the craft to know when something isn't working.
What industries have you worked in?
