My Journey

A decade of shaping products and design systems for teams across the globe.

Drawing on extensive experience in product design, I’ve shaped a diverse range of digital experiences. Most recently, I built the foundational product journey for the startup Ambo. With a strong focus on design systems over the last 4+ years, I've built flexible UI foundations that aligned distributed teams, balancing creative vision with business goals. At Condé Nast, I helped to evolve the Verso Design System to support iconic brands like Vogue, The New Yorker, WIRED, Architectural Digest, and Condé Nast Traveler.
