About

I'm a storyteller and a product designer, crafting inclusive customer-first experiences. I've led design teams for Adobe Document Cloud, Microsoft Edge, Atlassian, Diversity & Inclusion charters for Microsoft's Studio+91, and currently work at Salesforce. Outside of work, I am wife and mother and journal my life compulsively through drawing, some of which can be seen online at http://inktales.me.
