MY APPROACH
MY APPROACH
MY APPROACH
I scale design organizations where research drives decisions, accessibility creates competitive advantage, and systems compound over time. My expertise is in regulated industries (healthcare, telecom, fintech) where compliance and speed are both requirements.
Over 15 years, I've built design teams big and small with zero regrettable attrition, established research practices that executives actually trust, and delivered measurable outcomes, such as NPS increases, faster release cycles, cost reductions in the millions. Design isn't decoration, it's infrastructure, and I build it to last.

WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR
WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR
WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR
I've learned that success isn't just about what I bring to the table. It's about whether the company is set up to let design work. I need environments where research drives decisions (not just validates them), where accessibility is viewed as competitive advantage, and where stable leadership allows work to grow. The mission matters to me. I do my best work when I can picture the specific person whose life we're improving.
I'm seeking VP or Head of Design roles at mission-driven companies where:
Design has a strategic influence
Products make measurable impact for real people
Leadership is stable and supports long-term work
Accessibility and research are viewed as competitive advantages, not burdens
If your company fits this description, let's talk.

WORK PRINCIPLES
(PROCESS)
PRINCIPLE 1
.
Mission Before Metrics
If I can’t name the person we’re helping, the product isn’t done yet.
PRINCIPLE 2
.
Research Is How Strategy Gets Made
Opinions are cheap. Evidence builds products that win.
PRINCIPLE 3
.
Accessibility Is an Advantage
Designing for everyone scales better and breaks less.
PRINCIPLE 4
.
Culture Builds Products
No trust = no velocity. Teams ship what leadership tolerates.
PRINCIPLE 5
.
Stability Beats Whiplash
Great systems need time. Constant pivots kill momentum.
PRINCIPLE 6
.
AI Boosts Humans, Not Replaces Them
Automation without judgment is just faster failure.
PRINCIPLE 7
.
Teams Outlive Roadmaps
Products expire. Leaders don’t. Grow people first.
