About
With over 15 years of experience transforming complex platforms through human-centered design, I thrive as a player-coach who balances hands-on craft with strategic leadership. Most recently at Lotic.ai, I led an AI product from concept to market in 90 days, leading a cross-functional team while personally designing conversational UI patterns and driving product and design strategy. Previously, at Virgin Pulse, I transformed their B2B2C platform design org while developing an Inclusive Design playbook that set new standards for accessibility. My approach combines deep platform experience from Amazon Kindle and Audible with a forward-thinking perspective on AI ethics and user trust. Currently seeking Principal Design or UX Manager roles where I can shape product strategy, build high-performing teams, and stay connected to the craft.
