Helping teams design better product | Thoughtful Problem solving with AI

About

I blend design and strategy to spark real innovation. After 23 years in UX—spanning E-Commerce, Fintech, Healthcare, and SaaS—I know how to turn user insights into business wins. I’m all about closing the gap between what users need and what the business wants. For me, that means building experiences that feel effortless and actually move the needle. Curiosity drives me, and I love teaming up with people to chase solutions that really matter, both for users and the bottom line. Here’s a glimpse of what I’ve done: Automotive Retail, Reimagined: At Tekion, I led the charge on a digital retail product from scratch. Dealerships saved $60k each year, sales jumped 12%, and in year one, we scaled to 700+ dealerships—pulling in $118 million in revenue. Changing the Game in Hiring: At Goodworker, I launched a B2B hiring program that hit 30% liquidity in just three months. The design was ambitious—aimed at making jobs more accessible to everyone. Driving Enterprise Adoption: At Evive, I rebooted a benefits platform for businesses and their teams. Engagement shot up from 5% to 65%, and companies saved millions on healthcare. Leading from the Front: I’ve built and mentored teams—like guiding six designers at Tekion—and taken products from the first idea to full launch. Innovation with Users at the Center: I’ve designed systems like Tekion’s retail platform and Evive’s benefits portal, always mixing research, quick prototypes, and hard data to crack tough problems. Design Systems for Scale: At Accenture, I built tools like the “Groove” system to bring teams together and iron out inconsistencies. Results That Matter: Through fast testing and constant iteration, I’ve helped businesses save $60k+, grow sales by 12%, and boost product adoption by 60%. I’m here to shape where UX goes next—blending creativity and strategy, building teams that love what they do, and delivering real results. Ready to see how design can push your business forward?
