About
I’m a Senior Design Program Manager working at the intersection of design, product, and technology, where I help teams turn ideas into well-built products through stronger collaboration, operational systems, and design practices.
Over the course of my career, I’ve worked across advertising, marketing technology, and large-scale digital platforms, partnering with designers, product managers, and engineers to improve how teams work together and bring products to life. My work today focuses on scaling design operations, strengthening design system adoption, and introducing new workflows and tools that help teams move faster without sacrificing quality.
I’m particularly passionate about helping people navigate the space between design, product, and technology—whether that’s designers who want to become stronger cross-functional partners, program managers moving into design organizations, or leaders trying to scale design teams and processes.
As a mentor, I aim to be both practical and supportive. I enjoy helping mentees think through real challenges they’re facing at work, develop stronger communication and leadership skills, and build confidence in their career path.
Topics I often help people with:
• Growing into Program Management or DesignOps roles
• Strengthening collaboration across design, product, and engineering
• Scaling design systems, processes, and operational frameworks
• Increasing influence and strategic impact in product teams
• Navigating stakeholder dynamics in complex organizations
• Career growth within design and technology organizations

Theresa did an excellent job identifying my needs/goals and helping me work towards them. We organized and reviewed my interview stories as well as practiced mock interviews with follow up questions. Not only did I get clarity on my story telling but I also gained a lot of confidence going into my interview. My preparation and study paid off! I did really well during the interview process and I'm happy to share that I successfully got the role at Amazon and I'll be joining their sales team this month!
