Designing clarity in complex systems.
I’m a designer and design leader with 10+ years of experience shaping intuitive user experiences inside complex platforms and organizations. Most recently at General Motors, I’ve led work across enterprise tools and design systems—helping teams navigate ambiguity, align on strategy, and create experiences that scale.
My work lives at the intersection of systems thinking, UX craft, and design leadership. I’m most energized by hard problems, messy constraints, and building clarity where it doesn’t yet exist.
Design philosophy
Design for everyone
I believe that accessibility is foundational to good design. When we design for people with diverse abilities and contexts, we create more resilient, inclusive experiences that benefit everyone.
Clarity over complexity
I value simplicity in both content and interface design. Reducing unnecessary complexity creates clearer hierarchy, lowers cognitive load, and helps users understand what matters most—faster.
Constraints help
Well-defined constraints sharpen problem-solving. When teams work within real technical, business, and operational boundaries, it pushes more thoughtful, creative solutions and leads to stronger products.
UX first
Great products are built on a solid UX foundation—and brought to life through thoughtful visual design. Visual craft plays a critical role in clarity, trust, and emotional resonance, but it’s most effective when paired with well-structured flows, clear information architecture, and intuitive interactions.
How I work
Cross-functional partnership
I work closely with product managers, engineers, and business stakeholders to deeply understand the problem space, align on constraints, and shape solutions from concept through delivery.
Research-informed design
I validate direction early and often through user interviews, usability testing, and feedback loops—using insights to refine flows, clarify intent, and reduce risk before build.
Build with engineering
I partner tightly with engineering to ensure thoughtful handoff, realistic implementation, and design QA—staying involved through development to protect quality and intent.
Measure & iterate
Post-launch, I review product analytics and qualitative feedback to understand impact, identify opportunities, and continuously improve the experience over time.
10+ years across product design, UX, front-end development, and leadership.
