Product design is a people-first discipline.

Great product design happens when teams understand not just what they're building, but why it matters. I focus on creating the clarity, systems, and team environments that allow designers to collaborate deeply, make strong decisions, and deliver meaningful product impact.

My leadership pillars

01

Design strategy

Aligning product vision, design direction, and business outcomes to deliver cohesive, measurable experiences.

02

Growing the discipline

Building and mentoring high-performing, multidisciplinary design teams through coaching, culture, and clear vision.

03

Organizational influence

Driving cross-functional alignment and design maturity across product, engineering, and marketing to scale design impact company-wide.

My approach

Align design, product, and engineering around shared outcomes

Develop career paths and competency frameworks tied to growth and equity

Define shared rituals and agile frameworks that connect design, product, and engineering

Create visibility through storytelling, newsletters, and cross-team readouts

Bring research in-house to ground every decision in real user insight

Connect design outcomes directly to business impact

Establish scalable design systems to align usability, brand, and technology

Use AI to accelerate communication, synthesis, and leadership artifacts while preserving design judgment

I’ve had the rare opportunity to work with Leigh Haislip twice, first alongside her on the leadership team at Fiserv, and later under her leadership as her DSL Manager and End-to-End UX Lead. That perspective gives me a clear view of the kind of leader she is.
