About

Leading through design, delivering through people

I am a Product Design Manager with 12+ years of experience building and leading high-performing design teams at scale. My approach blends strategic thinking with hands-on craft — I believe the best design leaders stay close to the work while empowering their teams to do their best.

Throughout my career, I have led design for products serving millions of users across fintech, healthcare, enterprise SaaS, and consumer platforms. I specialize in building design organizations from the ground up, establishing design systems at scale, and creating research-informed product strategies that drive measurable business outcomes.
