I started my design career obsessed with details, developing strong visual skills and the ability to handle complex products. Over time, I leaned into coaching, process improvement, and using high craft standards to elevate others. Now, as a design leader, I build strong teams, drive performance, and collaborate across disciplines to move products forward quickly and decisively.
