I lead by removing barriers and amplifying people.
Building teams. Elevating design.
I lead six senior product designers and a design system lead, helping them grow and do their best work. Since 2024, I’ve been building and shipping with AI as a design collaborator, sharing what I learn along the way.

From TV's first designer to design lead
In January 2023 I became the first product designer on Angel's TV app. Six months later I was honored to lead product design across web, mobile, and TV.

Where it started.
Microsoft & Xbox
A support desk, watching ordinary people meet new technology for the first time.
Four things that show up in the work
01
Lead beyond design.
I connect design, product, and engineering to shape direction, solve problems, and deliver better experiences.
02
Make AI approachable.
I build, experiment, and share what I learn to help others discover what's possible.
03
Make others stronger.
I hire thoughtfully, challenge ideas, and give talented people the confidence and ownership to lead.
04
Think like a founder.
I've raised capital, built products, led teams, and made the hard decisions that come with running a business.
