About

I’m a results-driven Senior Product Designer and UX Specialist with 14 years of experience designing human-centered digital products and design system foundations. I translate complex product direction into clear, build-ready workflows and interaction models—running discovery research, prototyping, and delivery alignment across product, engineering, and business teams.

I’m especially focused on improving onboarding and operational experiences, strengthening governance for AI-assisted content and decision points, and creating reusable design components that reduce rework and speed up delivery. I enjoy facilitating design thinking workshops, mentoring designers, and using qualitative and quantitative insights to shape high-quality experiences that drive measurable outcomes.
