What I'm looking for
I’m a UI/UX design leader with nearly 30 years of experience building user-centered products across consumer and entertainment platforms. As Senior Director of UI/UX Design at MyLife.com, I helped grow the user base by 31% and increase user satisfaction by 48% through comprehensive research and redesign of core features and flows, while lifting revenue 17% via payment and upsell experience improvements. My career spans design leadership, creative direction, and product strategy — from directing UI/UX for entertainment properties like Disney PIXAR’s Toy Story 3 mobile app and American Idol, to leading design systems, interaction design, and information architecture at scale. I pair a human-centric design approach with modern tools, leveraging AI (ChatGPT, Claude, Midjourney) alongside Figma, Sketch, and the Adobe Creative Suite for enhanced research and rapid prototyping. I’m passionate about data-driven design, mentoring teams, and bringing strategic judgment and design excellence to values-driven organizations.
