What I'm looking for

I seek a leadership role to scale design impact across products, mentor designers, lead UX strategy, influence roadmaps, and deliver high-impact digital experiences.

I am a Lead Experience Designer who defines UX strategies, leads cross-functional teams, and shapes product vision at a leadership level. I have delivered user journeys and led UX for major sports brands and global marathon apps, driving engagement and influencing product roadmaps.

I've mentored designers, served on hiring panels and governing councils, and received recognition for innovation and team contributions. I aspire to evolve into a Design Director or Head of UX to scale design impact and mentor future leaders.
