About

I’m passionate about building human-centered products that empower teams and users at scale—especially in complex spaces where design meets engineering. At JP Morgan, I lead a design team for the Private Bank’s enterprise platforms, crafting AI-driven tools, CRM systems, and onboarding experiences used by 30,000+ advisors to manage trillions in assets for their clients. My work centers on operationalizing design excellence, from scalable systems to accessibility-first practices. 🚀 What drives me: Empowering teams to build experiences and platforms that simplify complex workflows and amplify decision-making. Inclusive leadership - advancing accessibility in enterprise tools so technology works for everyone. Mentorship - growing teams that blend bold experimentation with empathy, and championing women in tech. Beyond design, I am passionate about giving back and have supported The Hope Gala, a 100% volunteer-powered nonprofit that’s raised $2.5M+ to fight childhood cancer, for nearly a decade. It’s taught me the power of collaboration—whether building products or communities.
