I operate as an IC: deeply hands-on in design and prototyping, while influencing roadmaps and aligning product and engineering through shared systems and clear decisions. My responsibility is not just design quality, but decision quality over time.
- Experience architecture across multi-surface platforms
- Navigation models, hierarchy, and mental models for operational users
- Design systems and component architectures, including visual and interaction standards
- AI-assisted workflows that balance automation with human judgment
- Cross-product consistency and quality as platforms scale and fragment

Design as an Operating System
Design isn’t a function it’s the system that connects strategy, decisions, and delivery. When it scales how organizations think, not just how they look, clarity becomes repeatable and collaboration frictionless.
Strategy Before Screens
I don’t start with pixels; I start with principles. Every product challenge begins by uncovering the real problem, constraints, and definition of success. Once those foundations are clear, design moves faster and sharper.
First-Principles over Familiarity
I don’t inherit frameworks I deconstruct them. I strip problems to their essentials and reason from logic, not precedent. It’s how I turn ambiguity into structure and insight into systems.
AI as an Amplifier of Judgment
AI is infrastructure, not spectacle. I design systems where intelligence augments intuition and automation removes friction so humans can focus on judgment and creativity.
Clarity Is the Deliverable
Every artifact, interface, or document should reduce cognitive load. Clarity builds trust, accelerates decisions, and makes complexity feel inevitable, not overwhelming.
Leading Through Ambiguity
I guide teams from uncertainty to structure by defining shared language, decision loops, and systems that make progress repeatable. It’s how autonomy and alignment can coexist.
While I’ve held leadership titles, my impact has consistently been as a senior individual contributor — owning system-level design decisions and execution while mentoring others.
