What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead and scale design systems and complex digital products, working closely with product and engineering teams on high-impact, user-centered experiences. I'm open to remote opportunities.

At Peloton, I own the evolution of a cross-platform Design System, creating reusable components, design tokens, governance, AI-ready documentation, and a Design QA & Bug Tracker that help teams deliver consistent digital experiences at scale.

I've also led design teams at WSKZ and designed complex products for Wormhole, Netguru, and Jamf—combining discovery, workshops, research, prototyping, accessibility, and close collaboration with engineers to turn complex workflows into intuitive products.
