About Me

I am a design and product leader who built and scaled Amazon's global design capabilities. Over my career, I have shaped the systems, teams, and customer experiences behind products that millions of people use every day. I bring a deeply customer-led perspective to engineering and product organizations — translating insight into structure, and structure into experience.

Career Highlights

I work with executives who want to move beyond surface-level UX into the operating discipline that makes great products possible at scale: hiring, design systems, research practice, leadership development, and the cultural conditions that let designers do their best work alongside engineering and product partners.

Innovation & Impact

• Built and scaled Amazon's global design organization
• Shaped design systems, research practice, and cross-functional collaboration across retail, devices, and platform groups
• Established the design operating discipline that makes great products possible at scale

Why Techquity?

I joined Techquity because it aligns closely with my personal mission to elevate the practice of design inside organizations. I have spent much of my career operating beyond traditional design boundaries, working across product, engineering, and leadership to drive better outcomes, and Techquity provides an opportunity to bring that experience to a broader set of companies. I value the ability to work directly with leadership teams, help them think more clearly about how design contributes to their business, and apply the lessons learned from building at scale in a way that is practical and grounded.
