Resume
A relentless problem solver helping teams turn complex, ambiguous problems into clear product strategy and impactful digital experiences.
I’m a Product Design Leader and Strategist with 15+ years of experience shaping digital products across healthcare, benefits, HR and staffing, marketplaces, real estate, and fintech.
My strength is helping teams navigate ambiguity: turning high-risk problems into clear product strategy, scalable systems, and experiences people can actually use. I’m delusionally optimistic in the best way — I believe there is always a path forward — and I lead with empathy to align teams around a shared vision. I move comfortably across altitudes, from big-picture strategy and product direction to hands-on UX, interaction design, prototyping, and execution, staying persistent until the work delivers meaningful outcomes.
