Product Designer
Designing for Complexity at Scale.
I am a Product Design Leader focused on humanizing sophisticated technical systems. Over the past 12 years, I’ve led design for global platforms serving billions of users across Google, Niantic, and SmartNews.
I specialize in translating high-density technical requirements into seamless, intuitive user experiences. Whether architecting the first-ever loyalty program for Google Play or redesigning a massive collection database for Pokémon GO, I thrive on making powerful technology feel effortless and accessible.
​
I believe design leadership is about more than craft; it’s about navigating complex cross-functional constraints and advocating for design as a core driver of product strategy. I lead through a balance of rigorous systems thinking, data-driven insights, and a commitment to high-quality execution.
