What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, focusing on impactful design solutions.

I am a product design leader with a proven track record of building human-centered products that impact billions of users. My experience spans leading high-performing teams to deliver innovative and scalable solutions. At Meta, I built the next generation of social experiences for over 20 million Mixed Reality devices, transforming privacy models and enhancing user trust.

Previously, I served as the Director of User Experience at Pluribus Digital, where I fostered a culture of collaboration and innovation to support public service missions. I successfully led design strategies for significant programs, including a $100M initiative at USCIS, and played a key role in securing new contracts through my focus on human-centered design.

My journey in UX design has been marked by my commitment to improving user experiences across various sectors, including government services and e-commerce. I am passionate about leveraging design to drive organizational transformation and create impactful solutions for users.
