Designing products people trust.
Leading teams that thrive.
UX Leader | Creative Partner
Leading Between the Lines
I thrive at the crossroads of design, engineering, and product because I am comfortable stepping into each space and fluent enough to bridge them.
My style is simple: listen for the point of view, connect the dots, and build momentum. I bring precision when details matter and patience when trust needs room to grow.
At my best, I’m not just guiding design work, I’m helping each member of the team build a future they can see themselves in.
