Open to senior, lead, staff, and principal product design roles

Enterprise product design for AI workflows, identity, and trust-critical systems.

I design operational platforms and human-AI experiences where speed, evidence, and accountability all have to hold up at scale.

Product thinking, interaction craft, and delivery judgment.

Evidence over theater

I translate ambiguity, AI uncertainty, operational constraints, and research findings into concrete workflows people can trust.

Systems that ship

I design across states, edge cases, permissions, audit trails, accessibility, and handoffs so teams can build durable products.

Clear cross-functional leadership

I align stakeholders around the decisions that matter: what problem we are solving, what evidence supports it, and what must be true at launch.

Trusted to turn complex product problems into usable systems.
