About me

Blending leadership, design, and engineering

My career has taken me from hands-on engineering to UX leadership, Venture Capital and product management, and I've loved every step of that journey. I thrive on connecting the dots between strategy and execution, whether I'm building design systems for aerospace or launching new platforms for startups. I'm happiest when I'm solving complex problems and helping teams deliver work they're genuinely proud of.

Impact & Results

Transforming months-long cycles into days, delivering what matters most

What makes me different

I know what it's like to be in the trenches at a startup, where every decision matters and resources are always tight. That experience taught me to move fast, adapt quickly, and never lose sight of what really matters for users and the business. I love working with both designers and engineers, bridging creative ideas and technical realities, and building a culture where people feel empowered to do their best work.

My impact

I've helped startups go from months-long development cycles to launching in days, giving teams the confidence to move fast and break new ground. I've led the creation of AI-powered tools and design systems that have been adopted across entire organizations, making work smoother and more consistent for everyone. And I've guided teams through tough pivots and high-pressure launches, always focused on delivering what matters most to users and stakeholders.
