At IBM, I’m building the security design org to work AI-first. The centerpiece: a pipeline I developed that turns a product requirements document into a full design deliverable. No Figma.
The output is a single interactive file with a feature-by-feature brief, annotated wireframes, and a written comparison of alternative approaches, ready to share with a team in 30 minutes instead of weeks.

My trademark is finding the unmet user and business needs that turn into dollars saved or earned. Very comfortable with business and product metrics, objectives, and key results.
º02
Comfortable using research, data, AI and ML to create solutions, and teaching my team to do the same. I’m on the frontlines learning the new tools first so I can teach my team.
º03
I care loudly about my team, their careers, performance, work-life balance, and the rituals that let them do their best work. Leadership is built on clarity, care for people, and a healthy challenge to the status quo.
º04
Design leaders who drift from craft and from their partners get less done. I’m in crit every week and I still design and prototype. I was a software engineer before I was a designer, so I speak the language of everyone in the room.
