PRODUCT DESIGN EXECUTIVE & LEADER
Focused on clarity, teams,
& building things that matter.
I’ve spent my career helping companies turn complex ideas into clear, useful products. Along the way I’ve led product and experience design across agencies, startups, and large technology orgs, like Meta and Kelley Blue Book (KBB), working on everything from consumer platforms to enterprise systems and emerging AI technologies.
MOTIVATION
I live at the crossroads of product strategy, design leadership, and systems thinking. These days, I’m especially interested in AI's role in making products and workflows better in tangible ways.
I get the most satisfaction helping teams solve real problems and build things people actually depend on.
CROSS-FUNCTIONAL LEADERSHIP
How I Lead
The best product work happens when design, product, and engineering operate as true partners. I focus on bringing clarity to complex problems, helping teams align around what matters most, and creating an environment where talented people can do their best work. While my role is primarily to guide strategy and support the team, I also stay close to the work itself—occasionally stepping in to help shape ideas, set direction, or unblock momentum when it’s needed.
What my team can expect
Teams that work with me tend to experience calm, steady leadership, even in fast-moving environments.
01
INTENTIONALITY
Protecting focus, reducing noise, and helping teams work with purpose so energy goes into the right outcomes, not just faster feature production output.
02
STRATEGIC CLARITY
Connecting the daily work to a clear vision, so teams understand priorities, make better decisions, and know their work contributes to the bigger picture.
03
EMPOWERMENT
Creating an environment of trust, candor, and support where people can grow, take ownership, and do some of the best work of their careers.
04
CRAFT & DIRECTION
Maintaining a high bar for quality and staying close enough to the work to help shape ideas, sharpen the details, and set the tone when it matters most.
WHY PEOPLE WORK WITH ME AGAIN
The part of leadership I value most is helping people do the best work of their careers. I try to create environments where people feel trusted, supported, and able to contribute their best thinking.
One of the most rewarding signals over time has been seeing former teammates and direct reports choose to work together again years later.
A LITTLE MORE ABOUT ME
Creative precision
I’ve always been wired as both a creative and a problem solver. Growing up artistic with a father who worked in quality control gave me an early appreciation for both creativity and precision. That balance still shapes how I approach design today.
Outside of product design I’m drawn to architecture and physical spaces, having designed and built my own home as well as studio environments for creative teams. Most of my free time now revolves around family life and keeping up with my identical twin boys.
