I'm a strategic design leader with a track record of building high-impact teams, shaping user-centered digital experiences, and driving organizational transformation. Over the years, I’ve led cross-functional teams of 20+ across design, research, content, and learning, launched new innovative platforms in partnership with global tech leaders, and spearheaded greenfield initiatives that reimagine how people learn, grow, and connect.

My work spans product innovation, UX org design, service and system design, and executive coaching—often partnering with leadership to elevate UX maturity, align cross-functional teams, and bring clarity to complex problems. I’ve helped companies launch new microcredential strategies, evolve legacy brands for global audiences, and establish inclusive, accessible, and data-informed design practices.

Whether building a design org from scratch, collaborating with stakeholders on strategic planning, or mentoring emerging leaders, I bring curiosity, empathy, and a strong belief in design as a catalyst for change.
