Good design is how technology earns trust
At the heart of my work is a simple goal: helping teams create clarity, impact, and experiences that truly resonate with people. I cultivate a culture of excellence—an environment where talented designers and cross-functional partners can thrive, lift each other up, and continuously raise the bar.
Everything I do as a design leader is guided by four core principles
Strong Individuals
Stronger TogetheR
I build teams of designers who are exceptional at their craft—and even better at working through complexity together. High performance isn’t about lone brilliance. It’s about trust, shared ownership, and collective clarity.
Clarity Over Control
Great design leadership isn’t about prescribing solutions. It’s about creating the conditions where designers have the context, confidence, and autonomy to make strong decisions. I lead with trust, not tight process.
Good design is never “done”
We reflect often, stay self-aware, and continuously raise the bar on our thinking, our craft, and how we work with others. Progress matters more than perfection.
Comfort with Discomfort
Ambiguity, tension, and change are part of the job. I encourage teams to lean into uncertainty, ask better questions, and move forward without waiting for perfect answers.
Peaks, Miles and Pixels
I am a Mother, a semi–serious half marathoner. Beginner mountaineer with big summit dreams.. I chase new heights – on pavement, on mountains, and in life building resilience one mile at a time. I’m a certified nutrition coach experimenting with wellness beyond theory, and an occasional coder who still gets a quiet thrill from an elegant solution.
By day, I lead design teams at Microsoft, turning complexity into clarity. By evening, I homeschool my kiddo — swapping product strategy for patience and curiosity. Because life like design rewards structure, discipline, and just enough adventure to keep life going.
Let’s Connect
Big ideas. Messy problems. Ambitious teams. If that’s your world, we’ll get along.
