Designing for startups becomes meaningful work when talking to customers is a habit, when teams rally around a product vision they’ve co-created, and when goals are tied to metrics that reflect real customer value.

I’ve learned that clarity about direction and ownership paired with access to customers is what enables teams to do their best work.

Leading and managing teams, I bring that clarity and advocate for designers to co-lead their teams. I coach designers to be strong counterparts in product management and to work as one with engineering.


I believe in craft and intentional visual decisions grounded in principles and customer insight, with room for intuition and play. The most successful teams share a commitment to quality and growth, supported by an inclusive, collaborative culture and a deep focus on customers and business growth.
