For over 15 years, my focus has been on making sophisticated technology feel profoundly human. Today, as a Lead UX Designer at Google, I apply that mission to the frontier of Artificial Intelligence, shaping complex AI systems into intuitive, user-centered tools that empower people.
My journey in design has allowed me to partner with some of the world's most innovative brands—including Google, NVIDIA, Uber, Hilton, and the NFL—to solve critical challenges through design. This strategic work is built on a foundation of creative excellence; my deep roots in visual communication have led to international art exhibitions and logo designs featured in the prestigious PRINT magazine.
I thrive on leading teams through the entire design lifecycle, from initial concept to polished final product, ensuring that powerful functionality is always matched by an exceptional user experience.
My areas of expertise include:
UX Leadership & Strategy
Design for AI & Complex Systems
End-to-End User Experience (UX/UI)
Visual & Interaction Design
Cross-Functional Collaboration with Engineering & PM
