Leadership Values
What drives me most is the intersection of thoughtful design, strong teams, and shared goals.
Design Principals
Speak the users language
Effective interfaces reflect the expectations users have, extending from language used to effective hierarchy and density of what is displayed.
Clarity is a feature
Simplicity isn't fewer elements, it's clear and focused elements.
Form Follows Function
I'm guided by purpose, not trends. I care more about whether the design supports action, needs, and confidence than whether it feels flashy.
Build for the real world
Real people don’t follow the happy path. I create solutions that hold up in complex workflows, edge cases, and less-than-ideal conditions.
People Values
I focus on creating an environment where people can do their best work and feel good doing it.
Process that supports
I genuinely enjoy building systems and processes that make work smoother. Tools that reduce friction, critiques that build confidence, and workflows that protect time and energy.
Learning from the best
I’ve been lucky to work with designers who’ve shown me what good leadership looks like. Their feedback, collaboration, and trust have shaped the kind of leader I am and want to continue to be.
Shielding the team, not sheltering the work
I take on the business side chaos like stakeholder tensions, shifting priorities, the messy side of things, so my team can stay focused on solving real problems.
Empowerment over control
I believe in giving designers the trust and space to own their decisions. My job is to support, unblock, and advocate while not micromanaging.
Leadership Values
Strategic design is about more than solving problems. It’s about solving the right problems, in the right way, at the right time.
Alignment Early and Often
I bring cross-functional teams together in design workshops and working sessions to build shared context, surface tradeoffs, and avoid last-minute chaos.
Using Data as Direction
Roadmaps aren’t guesswork. I connect qualitative research and KPIs to advocate for user needs and business outcomes, turning insights into action.
Design at the center of strategy
I thrive in finding the space space where user needs, business goals, and technical realities overlap.
Clear Communication at Every Level
Whether I’m pitching a product vision to executives or sharing findings with engineers, I translate complexity into clarity. Strategy only works when people understand it.
