RECENT WORK

At LibLynx, I'm leading UX for a data storytelling product that transforms complex library usage analytics into interactive narratives for academic publishers and decision-makers.

At AbbVie, I consolidated five fragmented internal AI tools into a single, intuitive platform for pharmaceutical workflows, balancing innovation with regulatory compliance through service design and user research.

At DocuSign, I scaled design operations across the Product Experience organization as both Senior Product Designer and Design Program Manager, introducing Team Health Checks and collaboration rituals that improved team alignment and delivery.

At Allstate, I led design across multiple Agile teams while managing 5 designers, staying hands-on with product work that ranged from mobile apps to internal tools in the innovation lab.

I combine design leadership, systems thinking, and hands-on execution to help product teams scale design operations and ship user-centered experiences.
