I’m a product, brand, and design leadership professional with 20+ years of experience shaping how products look, feel, and perform—from building design systems and brand identities from scratch to stewarding and improving what already exists. I’ve led design across branding, UX, and product, including a full-time Chief Design Officer role and a continued Fractional CDO engagement at a cross-border payments company. Alongside my leadership work, I’ve founded and built a B2B payments intelligence and spend-activation platform (SpendOS) after starting with a closed-loop wallet/gift-card app (Pepmo). I enjoy working directly with founders, engineers, and regulated-industry stakeholders, making the product and design decisions that determine what we ship and how we scale. I’m available for fractional and advisory engagements.…I’m a product, brand, and design leadership professional with 20+ years of experience shaping how products look, feel, and perform—from building design systems and brand identities from scratch to stewarding and improving what already exists.
