Design leader with 15+ years shaping products, brands, and systems across creative agencies, consumer tech, and enterprise SaaS. A full-stack practitioner, fluent across the whole discipline — marketing visual, UI/UX, research, design systems, leadership.

7+ years in cybersecurity, with a proven specialty in setting product vision that drives roadmap, building design teams from the ground up, and turning complex, high-stakes problem spaces into clear, usable product — executed repeatedly at Harness, Panther Labs, and Exabeam.

An AI-native design leader, with several AI products in flight at once — each carried from idea to working software. Equally at home setting the vision and building the thing that proves it.
