Hello, I’m Christine
I'm a product and design leader with 20 years of experience designing products, shaping platform strategy, and building design organizations. I blend systems thinking with deep knowledge of craft.
I'm currently working toward a graduate degree in data analytics and visualization because I believe data and data art are some of the most powerful tools we have for turning complex information into human understanding and action.
20+ years in product + design // Scaled current design organization from 6 to 85 // Health tech, enterprise, + cybersecurity
MFA, Fashion - Product Development + Merchandising // Master’s, Data Analytics + Visualization (in progress)
Philosophy
My approach to design leadership isn't a methodology. It's a belief system, and it shapes how I build teams, design solutions, scale structures, and make decisions.
-
People
People are the foundation everything else is built on. I've spent years developing a framework I call the Growth Honeycomb™ that creates coherence across the entire team lifecycle, from how you hire to how people grow. Get the people right, and everything else follows.
-
Process
Process is how design earns its seat. I build the operational foundations — the principles, playbooks, UX ops structures, and design intelligence systems that make design visible and scalable.
-
Product
I think in ecosystems, not features. I connect disparate products into scalable platforms that other teams can build on and create coherent user experiences. Not just designing the car, but the roads, the rules, and the map.
-
Parachute
I step into high-stakes product and organizational moments to stabilize teams, reset direction, and re-establish clarity in situations when there's little room for error.
