Design leadership is more than deliverables — it’s about creating the conditions for teams to thrive, innovate, and deliver measurable impact. I build clarity, champion craft, and connect strategy to execution so design becomes a force multiplier across the business.
I believe great products come from strong teams — and strong teams are built on trust, purpose, and psychological safety. My role is to nurture those foundations while raising the quality bar, scaling sustainable systems, and ensuring every design decision ladders up to real business outcomes.
I lead with empathy, expectation, and intent — helping teams grow, perform, and deliver work they’re proud of.
How I Lead: Principles I Live By
A clear vision unlocks autonomy.
I articulate outcomes, align priorities, and remove noise so teams can focus on what matters and ship with confidence.
Great design is intentional.
I set high standards for usability, cohesion, and clarity, ensuring every detail serves real user needs and strengthens the product.
Process is just scaffolding for talent to shine.
I design just enough structure to enable creativity, speed, and confidence without stifling innovation.
Business fluency matters
Design is a strategic partner.
I help teams connect their work to metrics, revenue impact and product direction, making design essential to business growth.
Alignment is everything.
I bring people together — across levels and functions — to build trust, clarify direction, and solve problems as one team.
I create spaces where designers feel supported, stakeholders feel heard, and teams feel aligned and motivated.
My style is described as approachable yet decisive, creative yet grounded, and always focused on enabling others to succeed.
I balance coaching with accountability — setting high expectations and providing the support, feedback, and tools needed to meet them.
I thrive in ambiguity, bringing structure, making hard calls, and helping teams move forward with clarity and cohesion.
These are a few ways I’ve put this approach into practice:
Transformed UX culture at Altera Digital Health →
Elevated operational clarity at Agilent Technologies →
Set vision under pressure for the United States Air Force →
Designed intelligent experiences with AI Experiments →
Leadership is about outcomes, not titles.
My goal is to create environments where design thrives, product quality scales, and the business grows with intention.
