Human-centered design leader with 20+ years of experience building UX strategy, research operations, and design culture across Hospitality, Education, FinTech, and Government sectors. Known for translating ambiguous business challenges into clear, evidence-based design direction — and for elevating teams through mentorship, cross-functional facilitation, and scalable research practices. Equally comfortable setting strategic vision in the boardroom and guiding design execution in the studio.
I hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the Academy of Art University and have been an active design community mentor of young professionals by volunteering with AIGA’s local chapter, organizing and hosting Dribbble Meetups, becoming a UX Lead Instructor with General Assembly, and being a mentor for young talent on the ADPList.org
