About me
Career
I have always believed that great design lives at the intersection of rigorous problem solving and deep empathy. For me, it is about taking complex, high stakes systems and transforming them into experiences that feel effortless and natural for the people using them.
Currently, I lead a client facing product design team at Goldman Sachs consisting of nine talented designers who report directly to me. In this role, I focus on guiding our vision, fostering an environment where craft and velocity go hand in hand, and empowering multidisciplinary teams to ship exceptional work.
Throughout my career, I have specialized in modernizing core product experiences, scaling design systems across web and mobile, and bringing modern AI workflows into how teams build. Whether I am guiding my team to rethink foundational user journeys or structuring frameworks to help everyone move faster, my goal is always the same: to build products that genuinely scale with both human needs and business growth.
Personal
When I am not deep in design, you can usually find me staying active through Pilates, exploring new destinations around the world, or wandering local farmers markets for fresh ingredients to cook with. Above all, my favorite moments are spent simply hanging out with my daughter, husband and our dog.
