A little more about me

I’m a product design leader with over 25 years of experience creating digital experiences across healthcare, AI, tech, fashion, and gaming. My journey began in marketing communications, where I learned the power of storytelling and brand strategy — a foundation that continues to shape how I approach product design today.

I’ve led design for startups and Fortune 500 companies, guiding products from concept to launch, building scalable design systems, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to translate complex technologies into approachable, intuitive experiences. My work has contributed to organizations recognized by Forbes, Modern Healthcare and Business Insider for innovation and impact.

Outside of work, I’m raising a curious five-year-old and her Bernedoodle sidekick, BB-8 — ensuring my off-hours are filled with creativity, adventure, and just the right amount of chaos.
