About Me
I am a Product Design Leader who believes in Design as a Strategic Multiplier. My two-decade career is defined by building high-performing teams and delivering transformative, enterprise-scale AI/ML solutions. My experience includes driving innovation for global leaders like Google, Adobe, and Disney Imagineering.
Currently at Electronic Arts, I lead the design strategy for Generative AI applications that democratize data access for over 1,000+ internal users across finance, marketing, and operations. I specialize in bridging the gap between executive business strategy and technical execution, establishing design systems and frameworks that are adopted as standard across multiple global business units.
