What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can own end-to-end product design for mission-critical systems, collaborate cross-functionally, lead designers, and deliver measurable impact in fast-moving, research-driven environments.

I am a senior product designer and design lead with extensive experience owning end-to-end UX for geo-spatial, real-time, and AI-driven workflows across national security, enterprise data, and public safety products. I collaborate closely with stakeholders and end users to research, validate, and ship products that improve critical operations and meet aggressive performance KPIs.

My background spans leadership roles where I led product teams, managed remote designers, and delivered measurable impact—improving productivity across core workflows and unlocking new sales avenues for key accounts. I leverage user research, cross-discipline collaboration, and modern design tooling to move quickly from insight to useful, reliable product experiences.
