About

I’m a design leader with 12+ years of experience building AI-powered enterprise SaaS products end to end—scaling teams, improving delivery practices, and driving measurable growth. I’ve led Cognir a’s first in-house Product Design team across three continents, launched a design system and Storybook integration, and improved engineering outcomes by reducing regression bugs and accelerating sprint velocity.

I’m especially passionate about blending continuous discovery, responsible AI, and human-centered design into agile product lifecycles. In my roles, I’ve guided product-led SaaS migrations, built frameworks and metrics for release readiness, and embedded trust-focused principles for AI forecasting features—while mentoring teams and aligning stakeholders around outcome-driven roadmaps.
