Hello!
I'm a design team leader and people manager with an extensive background in UX and product design. Over the past twenty years, I've had the opportunity to work for some of the best companies in the enterprise and technology sectors.
In product design, I strongly believe that being in the work defines creative leadership. My dedication to staying fully engaged and hands-on ensures that I offer not just strategic foresight, but also a profound comprehension of the ever-changing design landscape.
As a manager, I take a coaching approach. It's all about collaboration and empowerment for me. I’m a firm believer in fostering growth and autonomy through genuine, empathetic feedback and clear communication.
When it comes to leading design teams, I specialize in cultivating a productive and supportive environment. I thrive in atmospheres where teamwork is valued, and I aim to bring a sense of enjoyment and fun to the workplace.
