A decade of bringing products to life, designing the systems that scale them, and growing the teams that own them.
I'm the designer who shows up before the playbook exists. I've been the first design hire for several products, building the brand, the product, and the design culture from day one.
That founding instinct followed me into larger orgs as well. At Eli Lilly, I led the evolution of a design system serving 50+ brands, managing a team of remote designers to ship it.
But the work I care about most isn't just the product — it's the people behind it. I've spent as much time mentoring designers and shaping how design orgs operate as I have solving problems.
Great design leadership means building the team that outlasts the project.
