I turn AI ambition into
everyday practice.
15+ years leading design teams across enterprise software, healthcare, and product orgs. Currently managing 8 designers at Red Hat while running AI strategy for a 150+ person UX org. I build the governance, run the pilots, and make the VP-level case that gets tools turned on company-wide.
Three problems I solve.
From zero adoption to company-wide rollout
I took Red Hat's 150-person UX org from no AI tooling to 100% daily usage in under a year. Built the governance path, ran the pilots, navigated Legal, Security, and Compliance, and created the playbook every team after now follows.

I lead UX across Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Edge platforms. Software where mistakes cost millions. My team owns end-to-end experience strategy for IT administrators and operators managing infrastructure at scale.
RHEL · Edge · 8 DesignersTeams that ship, not just design
Three promotions in five years at MicroMass. Associate to UX Manager in two years at Red Hat. I hire, develop, and retain designers who deliver outcomes. My teams grow revenue, influence product direction, and earn cross-functional trust.

Figma AI: Pilot to Full Deployment
Ran the end-to-end Figma AI pilot at Red Hat. Negotiated a sandbox, curated the pilot group, synthesized real usage data into the VP recommendation that got Figma AI turned on for all of Red Hat in Q1 2026.
Numbers that hold up.
