About

With 15+ years of experience across fintech, telecom, and consumer products, I specialize in translating complex systems into scalable, user-centric solutions using human-centered and systems thinking. I work at the intersection of design, product, and business, aligning cross-functional teams and influencing product strategy across multi-product ecosystems. My role extends beyond design execution to partnering with product and business leaders on roadmap definition, prioritization, and solving high-impact problems that improve usability, efficiency, and customer experience at scale. I also build and lead high-performing design teams, fostering a culture of ownership, inclusion, and continuous growth while advocating for user-centered decision-making in complex enterprise environments. At JP Morgan Chase, I led product and experience strategy for large-scale financial platforms, driving decisions that shape user experience, product direction, and business outcomes. Previously, at Verizon, I contributed to the 5G Home Internet product line, leading research and strategy across the end-to-end customer journey, from pre-purchase to post-purchase, driving improvements in customer experience and product effectiveness. Earlier, as Head of Product at Be U Salons, I built and scaled a B2C platform across 160+ locations, defining product vision, design systems, and cross-platform experiences across web and mobile. I’m particularly passionate about scaling design in complex organizations, driving product-led growth through UX, and building high-performing teams. I also actively mentor designers globally via ADPList and speak on design leadership, systems thinking, and career growth.
