(SKILLSET)
01
.
Regulated Industry Expertise
15 years in healthcare, telecom, and fintech where WCAG AA/AAA compliance, FCC regulations, and HIPAA requirements shape every decision. I know how to move fast in complex environments.
Regulated Industry Expertise
02
.
Research That Drives Strategy
I build research practices that shape product decisions, not just validate them. From establishing user research programs from scratch to scaling them across 20+ products, research becomes the evidence that aligns teams.

.
Design Systems at Scale
I've built design systems that reduced release cycles by 30% and work across entire product portfolios. Accessibility embedded from the start, not bolted on later.

Team Building & Retention
Zero regrettable attrition across multiple organizations. I hire well, develop people into leaders, and create environments where designers stay because the work matters.

WORK PRINCIPLES
(PROCESS)
PRINCIPLE 1
.
Mission Before Metrics
If I can’t name the person we’re helping, the product isn’t done yet.
PRINCIPLE 2
.
Research Is How Strategy Gets Made
Opinions are cheap. Evidence builds products that win.
PRINCIPLE 3
.
Accessibility Is an Advantage
Designing for everyone scales better and breaks less.
PRINCIPLE 4
.
Culture Builds Products
No trust = no velocity. Teams ship what leadership tolerates.
PRINCIPLE 5
.
Stability Beats Whiplash
Great systems need time. Constant pivots kill momentum.
PRINCIPLE 6
.
AI Boosts Humans, Not Replaces Them
Automation without judgment is just faster failure.
PRINCIPLE 7
.
Teams Outlive Roadmaps
Products expire. Leaders don’t. Grow people first.
