At Zapier, I owned design system strategy across Engineering, Product, and Design, created the product design language, and won executive alignment for an AI-first strategy. I grew adoption by 58% and shipped a major version with an AI upgrade skill that migrated 66% of customer-facing repos in four weeks.

At Faire, I managed a 12-person multidisciplinary team; at Intuit, I managed the UX Engineering team supporting the design system across five business units. I founded ThoughtSpot’s Radiant design system and have mentored more than 100 design and engineering leaders across 20+ countries.
