I build design functions from scratch inside organizations at critical inflection points — pre-funding startups, post-acquisition platforms, companies where design has never had a seat at the table. The work isn't just product delivery. It's establishing design as a strategic function, securing executive alignment, and compressing the distance between vision and market impact.

The industry is converging on the operating model I've run my entire career — lean teams, high ownership, direct accountability to business outcomes. AI accelerates that dynamic. I've integrated it deeply enough to know where it extends a design leader's leverage and where it introduces risk that compounds quietly. That's not caution. That's the job.
If you're hiring a VP of Design, scaling a product through an inflection point, or need a design executive who operates at the edge — I'd like to connect. 25 years of turning chaos into outcomes, across every industry that matters.
