Biography

I design products that help revenue teams move faster and operate smarter.

For the past 13+ years — including 3 years leading design at Default and working across Apollo.io and high-growth SaaS — I’ve built and scaled products where design directly impacts pipeline, workflow efficiency, and operational clarity.

Most companies don’t have a design problem.
They have a decision and system problem.

I step in when:
• Design is inconsistent across teams
• Product velocity slows down
• Engineering and design aren’t aligned
• Revenue workflows feel fragmented
• A design system exists — but doesn’t scale

What I Actually Do

• Lead product design for complex B2B SaaS
• Build and restructure design systems that engineering trusts
• Align UX decisions with revenue impact
• Translate ambiguity into structured execution
• Mentor and scale design teams

I operate at the intersection of:
Design × Product × Revenue × Systems thinking.
