About

I’m a part of the Design Leadership at Microsoft, focusing on M365 Core experiences. Over the past three years, I’ve helped shape experiences that support both user needs and business goals—using AI to make everyday work efficient and more intuitive. With over 23 years of global design experience across interaction, product, and industrial design, I’ve worked with teams to create thoughtful, user-centered solutions. I focus not just on delivering great design, but on building and empowering strong, collaborative teams. I believe that clear direction, trust, and a shared sense of purpose are key to creating simple, impactful experiences at scale.
