I lead design teams, build scalable design systems, and bridge the gap between design and engineering. Looking for my next leadership role at a company where design drives product strategy.
For over 17 years, I've worked inside enterprise environments where the stakes are high, the systems are complex, and the users have no patience for bad design.
I've led design teams, built design systems from scratch, and shipped production front-end code — often in the same sprint. My strength is operating at both the strategic and the craft level: setting design vision while staying close to the build.
What energizes me is the puzzle — taking a product drowning in feature debt and inconsistent patterns, and turning it into something that feels simple, works fast, and scales.
I bring deep expertise in Figma, HTML/CSS/SCSS, design systems, motion graphics, and a growing practice in AI-assisted design workflows using tools like Claude, Cursor, and Figma AI.
Hired, mentored, and managed teams of 14+ designers across product lines.
Built enterprise design systems with 200+ components, tokens, and governance.
Ship production HTML/CSS/SCSS — not just mockups. Bridge the handoff gap.
Early adopter of AI in design — Claude, Cursor, Figma AI, Lovable in daily practice.
From individual contributor to design leader — each role deepened my expertise in enterprise product design, team building, and cross-functional collaboration.
Each case study highlights my role, approach, and measurable impact. These are the stories behind the work.
A comprehensive toolkit refined over 17 years — from strategic thinking to production-level craft.
The principles that guide how I build teams, set direction, and create environments where designers do their best work.
The best designers I've managed were the ones who asked "why" relentlessly. Skills can be taught — intellectual curiosity and drive can't.
My job is to shield the team from noise and politics, while pushing the quality of their output higher than they thought possible.
I build processes and design systems that make consistency the default — not dependent on one person having a great day.
I never stopped designing and coding. A design leader who's lost touch with the work can't meaningfully review or elevate it.
I over-communicate priorities, decisions, and tradeoffs. Ambiguity kills velocity — especially in enterprise environments.
I speak both languages. I write front-end code, attend engineering standups, and ensure that what ships matches what was designed.
AI isn't a novelty in my workflow — it's integrated into every phase, from research to production code.
I use Claude for research synthesis, content strategy, and deep analysis. Figma AI accelerates layout exploration and auto-layout decisions. Cursor powers my front-end code with AI-assisted iteration.
For rapid prototyping, I use Lovable and v0 to go from concept to working prototype without traditional dev cycles. And I teach teams how to adopt these tools with practical, workshop-based training — no hype, just workflow upgrades.
This isn't about replacing designers — it's about amplifying what experienced designers can deliver in less time.
