I am a design leader with over 20 years of experience crafting innovative mobile and enterprise applications across various industries, including biotech, healthcare, crypto, e-commerce, advertising, social, and real estate. I specialize in product design strategy, UX architecture, and mobile app design, aligning business, engineering, and product goals to deliver seamless, user-centered experiences. I’m passionate about humanizing technology, optimizing performance, and making digital solutions usable and sustainable for everyone. My approach is rooted in the belief that design is more than just creating beautiful interfaces – it’s about solving complex problems and driving strategic business outcomes. I unite teams around a shared vision, foster collaboration, and ensure that every project meets user needs and business objectives. I advocate for a holistic, cross-disciplinary approach that blends creativity with technical insight. This balance allows me to bridge the gap between user experience and product performance, ensuring that innovative and sustainable solutions are created. What excites me most is the opportunity to drive product innovation through continuous improvement. Whether leading a team of designers and developers or collaborating with cross-functional partners, I thrive on the challenge of turning complex ideas into transformative products. I’m particularly interested in shaping the future of design leadership – building scalable systems, creating meaningful customer experiences, and inspiring teams to push the boundaries of what’s possible. As I look to the future, I’m eager to continue leading high-impact design initiatives and contributing to solutions that make a real difference in people’s lives. Some of my proudest career moments include launching the Radiance Design System for Illumina, a multi-million-dollar design system adopted across their instruments and cloud software. I’ve also secured multi-million dollar software contracts for Varian Medical Systems through direct collaboration with teams in design sprints. At Google, I designed the “See What’s In Store” feature for local product search, generating millions of dollars in revenue for both Google and local merchants. These experiences have reinforced my belief in the power of design to drive business success and create lasting, positive impact.
