Creative Leadership

I have a shipping mentality. I believe that while proper analysis and validation is important, the best way to learn is to ship and iterate. But regularly releasing high value features requires a tight partnership and synchronized effort across design, product and engineering functions, so I work closely with these teams (and with stakeholders) to continually evaluate and optimize our ways of working.

I’ve always believed that the best products come from teams that work well together. I help my design team partner closely with people across the organization—tapping subject matter expertise brought by other functions while bringing our own deep understanding of the customer to the table. We listen, we learn, we iterate—and we don’t let perfection get in the way of measurable progress.

I set a high bar for execution, establishing clear expectations, frameworks, and standards that make our work stand out. I lead efforts to improve our design toolkit, processes, and operations so we can work more efficiently and deliver higher-quality results. While I love solving complex UX challenges, I find just as much satisfaction working side-by-side with Product and Engineering to refine our software development processes.

Over the past year, I’ve focused on pairing emerging AI capabilities with strong processes to help teams work smarter. That’s meant using Figma AI to automate repetitive tasks, leveraging large language models to quickly draft research surveys, and coding high-fidelity AI prototypes to test—and sometimes decide against—big ideas before they reach development. The result is a design practice that’s adaptable, data-driven, and always moving forward.
