About Me
I'm a design director who came up through social work. 27 years shipping across medical devices, consumer hardware, and SaaS – plus two decades building the teams and processes that make design work inside organizations that weren't built for it. I'm a good person to talk to if you're pivoting into design, moving from IC toward leadership, building technical fluency, or figuring out what strong design practice looks like when AI is reshaping team structures and tools. Between roles right now, so I'm working through some of this myself.
