About

Experience designer, problem solver, and conceptual thinker - at heart, I simply love to design. Over the past 26 years, I have grown from being a hands-on creative into a leader who shapes design strategy, culture, and delivery at scale, while staying true to the craft. My expertise spans UX design strategy, design systems, human-centered design, interaction design, and design thinking. I have led large-scale programs across industries and markets, building scalable frameworks and governance models that ensure consistency while fostering creativity. Recently, I have been focused on Agentic AI and Gen AI, applying design thinking to create products and use cases across diverse business domains. I believe in leading from the front - often working side by side with teams to exchange ideas, experiment, and deliver. My approach blends strategic direction with hands-on collaboration, ensuring outcomes are both impactful and practical. I am also deeply passionate about mentoring talent, nurturing inclusive teams, and cultivating a culture of innovation that keeps design relevant and future-ready.
