What I'm looking for

I'm seeking senior leadership roles to lead remote-first design teams building AI-enhanced, human-centered products, emphasizing design systems, cross-functional collaboration, measurable impact, and career growth.

I am a Director of Product Design focused on human-centered, AI-enhanced UX, leading remote teams to deliver measurable product outcomes.

I have led strategic design vision at Auction.com and designed mobile-first SaaS solutions at Xytech, Fannie Mae, and BUDDI AI, creating Figma prototypes and implementing Material UI in React. I specialize in building and scaling design systems, conducting user research and usability testing, and presenting work to executives and stakeholders.

I thrive in remote-first environments and seek to lead innovative teams that create AI-driven experiences aligned with business growth.
