I’m a design leader who believes that a rich, curious life is the ultimate fuel for building cutting-edge, intelligent, human-centered products.

For over 12 years, I've been immersed in the world of cutting-edge tech—from AI and chat interfaces to voice and in-car UX. I thrive at the complex intersection where product vision, machine learning, and human-centered design meet, especially when translating powerful LLMs into real, useful applications.

Right now, I lead the design and launch of Atlassian’s AI experience, Rovo, across the entire Atlassian suite (Jira, Confluence, Loom, Trello, and more). Before this, I was the design lead for Google’s Gemini-powered automotive experience and a founding member of the Alexa Auto team at Amazon. My approach is simple: I lead cross-functional teams through ambiguity and distill complex technical systems into elegant, intuitive experiences. The future of design isn't about overwhelming people with intelligence—it's about empowering them.

🌎 Off The Clock

When the laptop closes, I focus on gathering experiences that fuel my creative spark:

• Travel Junkie: I'm a perpetual traveler, hunting for the next great cultural immersion, which always includes tracking down the most incredible local food I can find.

• Maker Mindset: I love getting my hands dirty—you can find me in a ceramics studio throwing pots, or deep into an arts & crafts project. This hands-on creation is my design reset.

• Outdoor Play: My Bernedoodle, Lucky, keeps me active; we're always out on the trails or at a dog park. in the winder I try to get up to the mountains to snowboard as much as possible, and in the summer I’m out playing pickleball (when it’s not raining in Seattle).

Ultimately, this diverse curiosity fuels my design work—the desire to explore, create, and connect is what makes me a kick-ass, empathetic designer.
