Strategic UX leader who thrives in user experience methodologies, understands the product management lifecycle, and fosters team collaboration. I excel at discovering and translating user needs, defining products and features, managing complex design libraries and prototypes, and building strong relationships with stakeholders, engineers, and users.
I take great pride in my designs and insights, along with my ability to collaborate with users and stakeholders to redefine the information I receive with my teams. With 30 years of specialized design experience, I help you navigate research, discovery, and delivery by deciphering business challenges, defining field tech solutions, and integrating complex data visualizations. Having spent 11 years embedded in fast-paced Agile environments, I bridge the gap from strategy to execution through rapid prototyping, design sprints, comprehensive UI reviews, and system training.
Throughout my career, I’ve collaborated closely with product owners, engineers, and stakeholders to translate business requirements and user insights into clear, validated design solutions. I have applied my UX leadership to agile teams across a range of industries—including data network infrastructure, broadcast, HR, healthcare, healthcare, financial, consulting and energy.
