I build stronger design teams, better product organizations, and more thoughtful products.
Design leader with 20+ years across Amazon, Google, and Disney, helping teams raise craft, improve how they work, and build thoughtful products in an AI-shaped era.
What I bring
I’m a craft-led design leader with a broad creative foundation and a track record of helping teams build better products, grow stronger designers, and work with greater clarity, quality, and impact. My experience spans global product ecosystems, emerging technology, organizational transformation, and founder-led environments.
What sets my approach apart is the combination of strong creative standards, hands-on product judgment, and a deep interest in how design organizations work. I’m especially effective in moments of growth, transition, and change — when teams need stronger leadership, clearer operating models, and a more design-led way of working.

That means high standards without ego, structure without bureaucracy, and support without lowering the bar.
