ABOUT
I blend strategic direction, systems thinking, and hands-on craft to align user needs with business outcomes.
KEY OUTCOMES:
How I Think
I believe great design leadership is about creating shared understanding: clear problem framing, strong decision-making, and systems that turn ambiguity into structure.
HOW I LEAD
→ Set vision and stay hands-on where it accelerates clarity or elevates craft
→ Align UX decisions to measurable user and business outcomes
→ Build frameworks, patterns, and systems that reduce ambiguity and scale execution
→ Provide direct, structured feedback that improves both the work and the designer
How I Collaborate
Teams rely on me to drive alignment, unblock delivery, and raise quality without process overhead.
I work best at the intersection of product, engineering, and compliance to turn ambiguity into clear decisions and shippable specs.
Example work: Before/after redesign that reduced support calls 90% (CalOptima)
BEFORE
AFTER
I steer organizations toward scalable, user-centered design by combining strategic leadership, systems thinking, and practical, hands-on partnership.
