I’m a design leader and creative director with 15+ years of experience helping companies like Meta, Coinbase, Robinhood, IDEO, and Thumbtack build world-class design systems, brands, and product andcreative teams. I’ve led cross-disciplinary teams of designers, illustrators, and art directors, shaping the visual language for products used by billions of people around the world.

My experience lies in connecting creative excellence to real business outcomes. My specialty is translating brand systems into scalable design languages that are performant and consistent across the entire user journey. I bring hard-won expertise in the “messy middle” of design leadership: the leap from craft to influence, and from designing the work to directing the work to catalyzing the work.

I’m here for:

- Senior and Staff designers moving into leadership roles
- Design leaders seeking more confidence with the C-suite and other executives
- ICs and managers wanting to scale systems and reign-in chaos
- Founders who need creative direction that aligns their product and brand

What we can work on:

- Owning the room with clarity and presence
- Communicating design decisions in business language
- Crafting and scaling design systems that enable better, faster product work
- Developing your leadership philosophy and voice
- Building trust, alignment, and a culture of creativity
- Managing burnout + the emotional weight of leadership roles

My mentorship style blends craft, clarity, and emotional intelligence. You’ll get direct and actionable feedback, frameworks to apply immediately, and a supportive partner in your growth. We’ll focus not only on how you design—but how you lead.

If you’re ready to grow your impact and step into a more powerful creative leadership identity, book a session and let’s get started.
