About

I’m a design leader, but also a builder at heart. For close to 20 years, I’ve been creating products, scaling high-performing teams, and turning design into a strategic lever for growth. I lead from the front, hands-on, fast-moving, and deeply collaborative. I build teams that scale, unlock talent, and deliver work that matters. I work across disciplines to solve hard problems and bring clarity where it’s messy. I don’t just champion design, I embed it into the company’s DNA. I drive design maturity by proving its business value, building systems that scale, and shifting design from a function to a mindset. Today, I lead Product Design at Intercom—spanning Web, Growth, Core Product, and our Design Infrastructure team. For the past decade, I’ve worked remotely across agency and SaaS, leading distributed teams across product, industrial, brand, content design, and research. I’ve built new products from 0→1 and helped transform legacy SaaS into AI-first platforms.

  • I led design for Focus—Hudl's most ambitious hardware and software launch to date. Think: a multi-sensor smart camera, built from scratch, that uses computer vision to track the game across different sports and give teams a competitive edge.
  • From prototype to launch in under a year, I partnered tightly with product, engineering, and marketing to ship an experience that redefined what’s possible for sports teams at every level. The work spanned Research, Industrial Design, Product Design for Web and Mobile, and AI-powered coaching insights. Then scaling to multiple hardware devices and a large international team through hiring and strategic company acquisition.
  • This was design leadership in the real world: zero to one, high stakes, cross-functional, hardware+software—resulting in a product with significant business impact.
