“I have always been fascinated by how people experience digital products and services, with a constant drive to enhance those experiences through strategic design leadership. Throughout my career, I've consistently aligned design initiatives with business goals, such as implementing template-based solutions to boost user adoption during product migrations.

My experience in managing diverse, global teams has been instrumental in fostering innovation and collaboration across multiple disciplines and geographies. I thrive on bringing together people with different perspectives and skill sets to create innovative solutions. This ability extends to cross-functional collaboration, where I've successfully integrated design with product development and other departments, including experience managing both Product Managers and Engineers at Dell.

One of my core strengths is forging strong connections between teams and departments. I firmly believe that collaboration is essential for success, and I work hard to foster an environment where everyone feels valued and supported. This approach has been crucial in implementing unified design language systems, ensuring consistency across products and enhancing overall user experience.

In my leadership approach, I advocate for a non-hierarchical culture that emphasizes collaboration, transparency, safety, and trust. I believe in giving every team member a voice and ensuring their ideas are heard and respected. This philosophy, combined with my background in design analytics, has allowed me to create an atmosphere where data-driven decision-making flourishes, leading teams to exceed expectations and deliver measurable results.

Overall, my passion for enhancing user experiences, ability to manage diverse teams, and belief in a collaborative and inclusive work culture have been instrumental in my professional journey. I continuously seek ways to learn and grow, excited to make a positive impact in the digital world through strategic design leadership and data-informed innovation.”
