Senior Design Partnership.

No Overhead.

​I’ve built and led design practices at companies like Disney, Salesforce, and IBM. I understand how product and engineering teams actually operate, how to run research that changes decisions, and how to design systems that scale.

​

I don’t require a long runway. I create impact quickly.

Strategy +
Hands-On Execution

I lead and execute product design for scaling SaaS companies, from vision through shipped experience.

If your team values quality, is under-resourced on senior design, or navigating a product problem that needs both strategic clarity and hands-on execution, this is what I do.

I've built and led design practices at companies like Disney, Salesforce, and IBM. I know how to work with product and engineering, how to run research that actually changes decisions, and how to design systems that scale. I don't need a long runway to get up to speed.

​

I work with a small number of teams at a time, bringing 15 years of craft and strategic thinking to complex product challenges, on a flexible basis.

What I take on:

Executive Product Design Leadership

Design Strategy & Consulting. For teams that need alignment before execution. Especially useful for 0-to-1 work, product pivots, or when leadership needs a sharper picture of the design opportunity.

​

Fractional Design Leadership. Strategic design leadership without a full-time executive hire.

Embedded Senior Product Design

Product Design (End-to-End). Discovery through delivery. I work directly with product and engineering to design experiences that are user-centered, technically grounded, and ship-ready.

​

UX Research & Testing. I design and facilitate research that gets past surface-level feedback to reveal what's actually broken — and what to do about it.

If your team values quality, is under-resourced on senior design, or navigating a product problem that needs both strategic clarity and hands-on execution...this is what I do.
