About

Staff Product Designer with 13+ years of experience shaping enterprise B2B and B2B2C platforms across SaaS, infrastructure, and regulated domains. I specialize in translating complex business and operational problems into scalable, system-level experiences that drive adoption, efficiency, and revenue. Currently at Procore, I lead platform-level design initiatives spanning equipment lifecycle management and cross-product integrations—working closely with product, engineering, and business leaders to define experience strategy across teams. Previously, I’ve driven monetization, CPQ, analytics, and design systems initiatives at Chargebee, Oracle, and Accela. My work focuses on solving high-ambiguity problems where design must influence strategy, align stakeholders, and unlock velocity at scale.
