Nice to meet you.
I have a demonstrated history of leading product design teams, setting SaaS products up to scale, growing user experience teams, and creating UX/UXR processes. I'm passionate about teaching the design process, as well as fostering growth in junior designers.

Here are a few sneak peeks - but please reach out to me if you'd like detailed case study information, redesign before and afters, or additional information on the problems I've solved.
