With more than a decade of experience—most recently leading the AI design strategy for SugarCRM—I specialize in orchestrating enterprise-level complexity into intuitive, scalable products.
My approach combines a deep technical understanding of SaaS ecosystems with a passion for human-centric AI design.
I thrive in high-velocity environments where I can own the experience from discovery to execution, building systems that aren't just smart, but grounded in trust.

WHY I AM MOVING:

After leading AI strategy at SugarCRM, I'm ready for my next challenge: building AI products at the intersection of design leadership and product strategy.
I'm looking for a role where I can own not just the design execution, but the product vision and team culture that makes human-centered AI possible.
I WANT TO:
→ Lead design or product teams that are defining how AI should work
→ Mentor the next generation of designers navigating the AI space
→ Influence product strategy at companies building the future of work
→ Prove that human-centric AI design can be both delightful and profitable
