ABOUT

Strategic, human-centered design leader with a dual focus: leading teams to success and contributing hands-on as a seasoned practitioner. I bring 15+ years of experience spanning UX research, product design, and information architecture, delivering value across B2B and B2C landscapes in both in-house and agency environments, with extensive experience in large, end-to-end, complex enterprise/SaaS platforms.

Skilled in guiding cross-functional teams through complex challenges, I blend servant leadership with a collaborative, data-informed approach. I thrive in roles where I can empower others, shape design systems, and champion accessibility, while also rolling up my sleeves to drive research, prototyping, and UX strategy.

Whether building design culture, executing at pace, or influencing product vision, I bring a steady balance of long-term thinking and tactical execution, always focused on creating intuitive, scalable solutions that serve both user and business needs.

When I’m not heads-down in design or leading discovery, you’ll find me volunteering at my kids’ school or getting involved in the community with my non-profit.

Most days end at the ball fields, coaching, cheering, or chasing foul balls. I also love traveling, playing music, cooking, and anything really that gets me up and moving. I'm also a serial DIY'er - always building or fixing things around the house. I love learning and growing, and can find that in most creative outlets.
