I’m a

Visionary UX Leader

powered by over 15 years of experience and an unwavering commitment to move the world forward.

About Me


I believe business is one of the optimal agents for facilitating positive social change.

I believe that human-centered design is not only the quintessential tool for pioneering these changes, but a formidable business practice.

I believe “a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world…it’s the only thing that ever has.”

Experience


From early stage exploration and strategy definition to the tactical details of implementation and continuous improvement, I’ve worked in a variety of industries including healthcare, insurance and finance helping medium to large organizations deftly navigate evolving marketplace conditions and ultimately position themselves in a much more intentional and strategic place. Their new operating model and sense of clarity afforded the appropriate platform for producing sustainable profits- all guarded by deep economic moats.

This work has not been the product of one woman, but of the diverse and talented individuals I’ve had the good fortune of leading. As a leader, my role is to create the most conducive environment for independent thought, intrinsic motivation and humility.
