I design experiences that make people feel understood, whether that’s a compliance analyst buried in alerts, a clinician learning a new system mid-shift, or a team I’m leading through a hard call. As a Principal Product Designer, most of my work has lived in the hard corners of enterprise software: financial crimes, stress testing, clinical training platforms, cloud communications infrastructure. Regulated, high-stakes, and usually tangled across too many systems for one team to hold. I get called in when something is stuck, and the job is to make the complexity legible again, then build the teams, programs, and communities that keep the work alive after I move on.
My story started in healthcare IT, where I spent two years implementing radiology systems in live hospital environments. I interviewed clinicians, troubleshot in real time, and learned what it means when technology fails the people who depend on it. That grounding shaped everything that followed.
From there I moved into UX at Cerner, where I eventually led the 0→1 build of Learning Journey as the sole designer on the team: a clinician training platform still in active use across roughly 500 healthcare organizations years after launch.
Then came Oracle, and some of the most regulated, high-complexity workflows in enterprise software. Much of that centered on financial crimes: anti-money laundering, transaction filtering, customer screening. I was usually brought in mid-project, into problems that were already tangled, so my first job was making the scope visible before anyone could design a fix. On one audit across four products, I built an inventory map that gave leadership a shared picture for the first time, and it became the reference point for everything that followed. On another, a comparison workflow I designed became a reusable Redwood template and was showcased at Oracle Design Week. The thread through all of it: find the structure hiding inside the mess, and turn it into something a whole team can move on together.
I’ve also brought AI into the actual craft, using Figma Make and Figma’s MCP server with Codex to prototype faster and hand off to engineers with more precision. I take design seriously as a discipline, and I’m always looking for sharper ways to practice it.
Alongside the design work, I advise on hiring, mentor designers, and rebuild programs that have lost momentum. At Oracle I relaunched Access for All, the company-wide accessibility initiative, and grew it to nearly six times its previous attendance. As Global Board Chair of OPAL, Oracle’s largest employee resource group, I led a community of 8,000 members across 29 global chapters.
There’s a throughline under all of it. I’m the founder of a portrait and brand studio, a storyteller, and a community builder. Whether I’m designing a workflow, directing a photo session, or building a program, the instinct is the same: understand people deeply, and make them feel seen.
