Driving the future of UX through pragmatic leadership that bridges human-centered design with AI innovation

Leading a UX design team for Google Drive, which serves billions of users, I focus on integrating generative AI into everyday workflows by creating systems built on trust, clarity, and collaboration. This work is driven by a core belief: that we have a responsibility to design a future where technology expands human potential. For AI to be successful, it must be useful, interpretable, and aligned with human intent. Ultimately, design isn't just about shaping interfaces; it's about shaping outcomes that are more resilient, equitable, and supportive of human agency.

Over the past 20+ years, my work has spanned from launching large-scale systems like Salesforce1 and the Lightning Design System to powering startup growth through acquisition with hands-on design. I thrive on leading critical design projects and building the teams that bring them to life. My foundation in Industrial Design taught me to think in systems, value craft, and keep people at the center—principles that continue to guide how I lead and design today.

This era of AI is complex. Disruption is inevitable. But so is the opportunity to rethink how we work, learn, and solve problems. I believe design can help us navigate this moment with intention. It creates space for both progress and responsibility, for scale and nuance.

Outside of work, I'm energized by live music, family life, and lifelong learning. I'm driven by curiosity, creativity, and the belief that what we build, and how we build it, matters.
