Leadership Philosophy

It brings me joy to help people achieve their full potential. My design leadership style is people-first because people are foundational to building great experiences. I lead with authenticity, empathy, and a commitment to continuous growth for others and for myself.

Stay Curious and Pursue Growth

I approach work and people with curiosity, encourage questions over assumptions, and model the continuous learning that keeps teams adaptable.

Cultivate Trust and Transparency

I lead with honesty about challenges and decisions, share context freely, and create environments where people feel safe to take risks and speak up.

Listen Deeply and Coach the Team

While I don't have all the answers, I invest time in understanding each person's goals and coach them to get to where they want to go.

Express Gratitude Regularly

I celebrate wins, acknowledge effort, and make sure people know their contributions matter.

Seek Out Others' Expertise and Collaborate

I believe in leveraging complementary skills, working cross-functionally, and deferring to expertise wherever it lives because the best solutions come from diverse perspectives.

Design Holistic Experiences

I approach every challenge systematically, considering the end-to-end user journey, organizational impact, and how all the pieces connect.
