Product design leader crafting purposeful digital tools.
Move further, faster.
With over two decades of design leadership experience, I specialize in complex, high-stakes domains—quickly ramping up, simplifying workflows, and delivering tools that create real impact.
My background spans agency leadership, independent practice, and in-house design. Having operated across these different modes, I am able to adapt quickly, execute efficiently, and bring a broad perspective to complex challenges. I have directed design efforts for successful startup exits, grown and mentored design teams, introduced innovative concepts, and served as an advocate for design at every level.
Currently, I lead Product Design & User Research at Cleerly, where we work on freeing the world from heart attacks.
I also host the Product Craft podcast, where I interview industry veterans to uncover what it takes to make great products and what craft means in the rapidly evolving environment.

WORK
- Design: how things workMy approach to design merges creativity with systematic methodology. I believe that exceptional design transcends aesthetic appeal—it's a tool for solving problems and creating meaningful user experiences. My design philosophy hinges on deeply understanding user needs and meticulously crafting solutions that are both intuitive and impactful. Every design decision is an opportunity to enhance functionality and add real value.
- Leadership: change through inspirationLeadership, in my view, is about guiding and inspiring individuals towards a unified vision. It's about creating an environment where ideas are valued, growth is encouraged, and achievements are acknowledged. As a leader, I prioritize building trust and empowering my team, equipping them with the resources and support to excel. My leadership style blends strategic thinking with empathy and decisiveness, always aiming to motivate and unite my team towards innovative breakthroughs.
- Collaboration: lean teams with outsized impactMy aim is to cultivate collaborative dynamics that drive success and foster innovation by creating the environment where people to do their best work. The best ideas are born when diverse perspectives converge in a shared creative endeavor. My commitment to collaboration is rooted in open communication, mutual respect, and a passion for collective problem-solving. I champion cross-functional teamwork, valuing the rich insights and robust solutions it produces.
