Biography
I design products that help revenue teams move faster and operate smarter.
For the past 13+ years β including 3 years leading design at Default and working across Apollo.io and high-growth SaaS β Iβve built and scaled products where design directly impacts pipeline, workflow efficiency, and operational clarity.
Most companies donβt have a design problem.
They have a decision and system problem.
I step in when:
β’ Design is inconsistent across teams
β’ Product velocity slows down
β’ Engineering and design arenβt aligned
β’ Revenue workflows feel fragmented
β’ A design system exists β but doesnβt scale

What I Actually Do
β’ Lead product design for complex B2B SaaS
β’ Build and restructure design systems that engineering trusts
β’ Align UX decisions with revenue impact
β’ Translate ambiguity into structured execution
β’ Mentor and scale design teams
I operate at the intersection of:
