"I design products, build teams, and spend my weekends painting, riding, and reading."
A design leader with 20+ years of building things that matter. Not just interfaces — organizations, systems, and cultures that make great design possible at scale.
I build the teams, define the strategy, and stay accountable to the outcome — from the first research session to the moment it ships. Close enough to the work to care, senior enough to make sure the right work gets done.
Design is not about making things look good — it's about making things work so well that people don't have to think. Every decision I make is grounded in how a real person will experience it, not how it looks in a presentation.
At enterprise scale, that means building systems and processes that keep the human at the center — even when the product is complex, the stakeholders are many, and the timelines are brutal.

Built foundational skills in interaction design, prototyping, and usability. The years that shaped everything that followed.
Designed and delivered scalable enterprise web applications. Ran stakeholder workshops. Learned that good design starts with the right conversation, not the right tool.
Led UX across player-facing and enterprise casino platforms in global regulated markets. Built the team's first evidence-based UX practice. Learned to design under constraint — and deliver anyway.
Joined as the only designer. Built a 30+ person organization, an enterprise design system, full accessibility certification, and transformed 15+ legacy products into modern competitive SaaS. Still here. Still building.
