Senior Product Design Partner for Startups and Growing Teams
I partner with teams as an embedded senior product designer, working directly within their workflows and collaborating closely with product and engineering to move from ambiguity to shipped, polished product. With over a decade of experience across streaming, media, and SaaS, including large-scale consumer platforms and complex internal tools, I've helped teams improve usability, engagement, and measurable business outcomes. I'm comfortable leading design decisions when needed, and just as comfortable collaborating within an existing product vision when that's the right fit.

The goal was not just to add features, but to clarify the product's core purpose and streamline the path to action. ----------------------------- Led product design as the sole designer, partnering directly with WebOps leadership, engineers, and enterprise client teams to simplify and scale a complex medical logistics platform. As an embedded design partner, I owned the end-to-end product design process across the WebOps mobile platform.
