Product Design & Strategy Consultant

Over 14 years of experience in UX Design and Product Strategy.

I bring deep expertise in information architecture, content strategy, and design leadership. I thrive in complex environments—helping teams navigate ambiguity, align, and move confidently from strategy to execution.

Whether I’m guiding cross-functional teams through content modeling for headless CMS, designing for healthcare and e-commerce, or shaping scalable systems, my focus is always the same: building momentum, clarity, and human-centered solutions.

Driving Clarity Across Design, Content & Code

Bridging content, design, and engineering at scale

Deep experience leading content modeling and information architecture for multi-site headless CMS architectures in both health and e-commerce domains—ensuring flexible, scalable content, components, and tools that empower teams to express themselves and ideas long after we roll off the project.

Sensemaker

I thrive in ambiguity and big messes—leading cross-functional teams through problems with clear thinking, strong facilitation, and execution. Thousands of hours facilitating lean mapping of “what” and the “how” between product, developers, designers for high value rapid output.

Enterprise SaaS Design Systems

The bigger, the better. Design systems that scale platforms, brands, use cases, teams are my sweet spot. Not only scalable design but ensuring consistent application by co-creating semantic naming systems that mirror development so any designer or developer can feel confident building.
