I've scaled UX from startup to $1.2B—and built the AI-native design operations to sustain it.

I don't just lead design teams. I build the systems that make them scale.
Governance. Tooling. Standards. Agentic AI. I've scaled UX across 200+ enterprise products without scaling headcount—cutting rework by 50%, training time by 90%, and support tickets by 70%.

What I Do

 

Challenged with unifying fragmented product portfolios and integrating emerging technologies.

 

I orchestrate end-to-end design strategies that bridge the gap between engineering constraints and user needs. I lead the creation of scalable design systems and AI-driven operations ("DesignOps") while mentoring high-performance teams to execute with precision.

 

This approach establishes a design-led culture that eliminates friction, turning complex technical capabilities into intuitive, mobile-first experiences that delight users and accelerate business value.

How I Work

 

Bridging the gap between high-level business strategy and hands-on execution.

 

I operationalize transparency and rigor by building scalable frameworks—from AI-assisted tooling to global design systems—and enforcing deep cross-functional alignment with Engineering and Product.

This systematic approach translates abstract business goals into cohesive, user-centered experiences that drive adoption and withstand the pressure of scale.

Who I Am

 

Driven to solve the friction where high-ambition technology meets human needs.

 

I operationalize design strategy not as visual decoration, but as a core performance driver. I align global teams around a culture of "technical empathy," treating design as the functional bridge between engineering and the user.

 

Yielding products that do not just look better but work better—transforming abstract technical capabilities into lasting, accessible solutions that perform at scale.

What I Believe

 

Believing that design must serve as a strategic force to tame complexity.

I enforce a methodology where "systems" and "craft" are inseparable, prioritizing deep inquiry and diverse perspectives over immediate solutions.

This discipline elevates design from a service function to a competitive advantage—transforming dense, technical challenges into meaningful, scalable experiences that amplify clarity and earn lasting user trust.
