Creative design manager
I'm a UX Design Manager and designer with more than seven years of experience leading multidisciplinary teams. I lead design for enterprise tax and compliance products used by professionals around the world. I partner closely with product and engineering to ship solutions that work for the people who use them, including AI-powered workflows.

Building Teams That Ship
Since 2024, I've led a multidisciplinary design team through two big changes. With the team's producer, I replaced a rigid, one-size-fits-all process with a judgment-based way of working that embraced partnering with stakeholders. That freed up about two sprints per project, and partners began treating design as a trusted collaborator instead of a blocker: projects brought to the team grew from 3 to 13 in a year. We kept shipping, and the work was recognized with an internal leadership award.
Designing AI into the workflow
I lead AI adoption by doing it myself first and then bringing it into how my team works. I use tools like Claude, v0, Figma Make, and internal AI platforms to synthesize research, compare findings with product documentation, and get working prototypes in front of stakeholders quickly. With my team, those tools helped turn stakeholder and subject-matter-expert workshops into an end-to-end prototype of an agentic compliance experience in a single sprint. I'm additionally rebuilding our core process around AI, so that fast, rough experimentation becomes part of how the team works every day instead of a side project.
Putting the Customer in Customer Service
Led the design of a new customer-centric account experience that allowed people to quickly tackle the tasks they perform most frequently and provided flexibility in the information presented.
Design System Creation
Created the first iteration of a design system that supported Thomson Reuters marketing sites that integrated brand standards and the technical requirements of the AEM platform that they use.
Science, Social Change, and Hops
Delta Beer Lab set out to be more than just a brewery; they wanted to be an agent of social change in the world while also promoting the science of great beer. I created the brand identity, can designs, and environmental graphics.
Telling a story though an app
Thomson Reuters found itself needing to help it's employees and the public answer the question "What does your company do?" I created an informative app that could change and update along with the company.
The University Club of St. Paul
The University Club of St. Paul and its sister property, the St. Paul Athletic Club, wanted to create a newsletter and marketing materials that reflected their refinement and treasured traditions. I worked to create an updated identity, rooted in their history, that could be applied across a variety of applications.
Illustrating Lunch
Making taking lunch from home a little more fun, and having it go viral.
