Experience

Design executive with 18+ years of experience leading product, platform, and brand design across enterprise SaaS, consumer products, and emerging technologies. I build and scale design organizations that turn complexity into clarity, align cross-functional teams, and translate design quality into real business outcomes.

My background spans hands-on product design at Apple and senior leadership roles driving strategy, systems, and teams at Pulse Labs and venture-backed startups. I focus on building teams and systems that scale quality, reduce noise, and help organizations make better decisions faster without sacrificing craft or momentum.

I look for oportunities where design is expected to shape company direction, scale teams, and deliver meaningful business impact.
