I am a product design leader and mentor, passionate about solving people’s real problems. For over 20 years, I have worked on product and user experience design. I love this stuff and my UX and software engineering background give me a deep understanding of the entire development lifecycle. I ensure each stage of the design process is informed by user research and every design balances user needs, business goals, and engineering complexity.I have led UX design for 5 significant products. In addition to user-focused design, I excel at aligning UX and engineering teams by involving engineers in UX research and collaborating throughout the development process.Finally, I am committed to building diverse and inclusive cultures where all team members’ ideas and perspectives are heard.
