About me
Everything is a design problem
Whether I’m designing an org, an ops system, or an interface, I use the same mindset. I’m a systems thinker with with the soul of a designer — equal parts strategist, builder, and creative problem solver.
My experience spans industries and domains, from cybersecurity to ecommerce, combining product, design, and systems thinking to drive business impact and team growth.
What I do now
I’m a Senior Director of Product Design with 10 years in management and 10 in IC roles. For the past 6 years, I’ve led and scaled design at a top-tier cybersecurity company.
Today, my focus is on:
Connecting strategy to execution across platform and product ecosystems
Building scalable systems that enable speed without bureaucracy
Empowering design as a force for business impact
The Design Impact Pyramid: How I build the conditions for lasting product impact through team growth, scalable systems, and strategic alignment.My leadership began as an individual contributor
My approach and knowledge is grounded in the work because I’ve done it, at every level.
With experience spanning UX design, research, content strategy, IA, UI, and creative direction, I’ve delivered across the full product lifecycle. I’ve also embedded UX Ops into my projects (long before it was even called that), and tackled process and systems challenges as part of the project lifecycle.
Artifacts from past projects — strategy to delivery, deep in the work
Outside of work…
You’ll likely find me running along the coast, re-centering at the yoga studio, juggling multiple creative side projects, taking classes (currently: all things data viz and illustration), learning about marine science and conservation, reading three books at once, and experimenting in both the kitchen and at my art table.
Curiosity fully activated.
Photography, art, and meanderings by the sea — every day glimmers from the beaches of Australia to the pages of my sketchbook
