Human-centered product design leader and collaborative thought partner with a track record of shaping high-quality products across B2B, healthtech, marketplaces, and internal tools at fast-growing startups from Series A to pre-IPO. A design generalist with engineering roots at Stanford, I bring depth in user experience and product thinking: conducting and synthesizing user research, crystallizing problem definition, and translating insights into thoughtful solutions. I'm known for navigating complexity, connecting dots across disciplines, and helping teams move from ambiguity to clear, compelling designs. Highly collaborative and entrepreneurial-minded, I thrive in roles where partnership, communication, and big-picture thinking are just as important as design craft. This approach extends to my work as a writing editor and co-author of two books on design, "Creative Confidence" by IDEO founder David & Tom Kelley and "The Man Who Lied to His Laptop" by HCI pioneer Clifford Nass. As an empathetic systems thinker with experience spanning design, engineering, research, and writing, I bridge disciplines, elevate ideas, and multiply the impact of the teams I work with.
