Specialties & Skills
Strategic planning in ambiguous spaces
Fully empowered design teams are invited earlier and earlier in the product lifecycle. Being a key partner requires a steady focus on customer needs, anticipating end users’ pain points to drive a clear design strategy in sync with Product.
Team development & mentorship
Growing the skills in my team, helping them leverage their innate strengths is one of my greatest joys. I’ve guided talent at various stages of career: from intern to Lead. I work closely with my team to coach them into defining the career path that most energizes them.
Cross-team alignment in large organizations
Advocating for the user’s end to end experience requires making connections with many disparate teams. Building those connections, understanding the micro cultures within those teams is fundamental to getting the right work done at the right time.
Striving for excellence in craft & delivery
Delivering the experience our users deserve with attention to details at all parts for the interaction. I maintain those high standards and working with our Product and Engineering champions to deliver.
Determining success metrics
Success can look different depending on the goals and perimeters of our work. I work closely with Product and Engineering to align our work outcomes to higher business needs.
