About

A design leader with over 14 years of experience building and scaling creative teams, shaping design strategy, and driving high-quality delivery across digital, marketing, and brand communication. My role centers on turning business objectives into effective design direction, working closely with senior stakeholders to align creative decisions with broader organizational goals. I’m deeply committed to leading teams with clarity, consistency, and empathy, focusing on mentorship, skill development, and building a culture where accountability, curiosity, and craftsmanship can thrive. I’ve led teams through rapid growth, shifting priorities, and evolving expectations, establishing structured workflows and quality standards that support both creativity and efficiency. I also guide the thoughtful adoption of AI within the team, using it to strengthen output, streamline processes, and build future-ready capabilities. I enjoy working at the intersection of creativity, strategy, and leadership, shaping design experiences that make an impact while helping teams grow and do their best work.
