What I'm looking for

I seek senior design roles leading enterprise product UX and design systems, collaborating cross-functionally to build accessible, scalable platforms with measurable impact.

I am a Design Lead and UX strategist with over 25 years guiding enterprise-scale product design, design systems, and platform experiences. I focus on user-centered design and modular frameworks that reduce friction and improve consistency across ecosystems.

At SS&C Technologies I founded and led the SS&C Cloud Design System, translating it into React, Vue, Angular, and Tailwind UI to streamline development and ensure cross-platform consistency. I have scaled design practices across B2B and B2C healthcare platforms and championed accessibility standards including WCAG 2.1 and ADA compliance.

Previously I led UX strategy and end-to-end design for financial and government applications, reducing time-to-deployment by 50% through high-fidelity prototyping and modular coded components. I pioneered multi-device and platform solutions, including early Apple Watch healthcare apps, and built internal design teams that produced significant cost savings.

I collaborate closely with product, engineering, risk, and compliance stakeholders to align design strategy with regulatory requirements, promote inclusion, and deliver measurable business impact through scalable UX systems.
