Executive product designer brought into complex, ambiguous situations where the product, system, or path forward isn't obvious. Operates across product strategy, platform architecture, systems design, executive alignment, and hands-on execution—turning fragmented products and unclear business problems into scalable systems and measurable outcomes.

Career impact includes design-led work contributing to a $15M Series A, securing $3M in executive investment, reducing customer time-to-revenue by 90%, eliminating approximately $10M in operational costs across 50 enterprise customers, and helping transform products and businesses from early-stage concepts through enterprise-scale platforms.

Currently focused on AI-native product execution, platform consolidation, onboarding, workflow automation, and the practical application of AI to complex enterprise products.

Active Projects In progress

Alongside full-time leadership roles, I build independent products end-to-end to stay hands-on with craft and stay sharp on execution — this is deliberate range, not a distraction from full-time commitments.
