A UX director who somehow landed here by way of medicine, fine art, and interior design. So yes, my brain is part scientist, part artist, part architect — which means the way I build products is equal parts meticulous and imaginative, with tons of empathy baked in. Right now, I run the UX & product team at BASIC/DEPT®.
I’m forged by many years in creative agency land, where the pace is fast, and the challenges wildly diverse. Agency background makes some people nervous, but SPOILER: it shouldn’t. It’s the reason ambiguity doesn’t shake me, and how I’ve built the kind of leadership that actually moves teams forward. I adapt quickly, solve complex problems across industries, and lead cross-functional teams in shaping products from vision to execution.
And lastly. I’ll always find a reason to laugh, because if it’s not fun along the way, what’s the point?
