About

I’m a Lead Experience Designer with over 15 years of building transformative digital products from enterprise commerce platforms to fashion-tech innovations. My career has been shaped by one belief: great design doesn’t just solve problems, it unlocks possibilities. At Microsoft, I’ve driven the design of global commerce and ecosystem platforms, empowering millions of customers, partners, and sellers across 240+ markets. At Salesforce, I helped shape the future of Automotive and Manufacturing Cloud, collaborating with leadership teams to define product strategy, architecture, and user experiences at scale. Before that, at Adobe, I played a pivotal role in shaping Adobe XD, Creative Cloud, and Dreamweaver, while contributing to the open-source Brackets.io project used by developers worldwide. I’ve had the privilege of designing solutions for iconic brands like MasterCard, Harley-Davidson, Coca-Cola, and Jeep, always balancing business impact with user empathy. Alongside, I actively mentor designers through ADPList and Designed.org, helping the next generation of creators find their voice and impact. Recognized with multiple awards for innovation, performance, and leadership, I thrive where design, technology, and business converge turning complexity into clarity, and ideas into products that truly make a difference. 🚀 Focus areas: UX leadership, enterprise platforms, AI in design, digital fashion, cloud ecosystems, and design mentorship. 💡 What drives me: Creating experiences that are not only functional, but also inspiring and future-ready.
