I turn complex problems into working products—combining product judgment, design, and hands-on engineering. My focus is agentic systems and practical AI workflows that help people build and get work done.
At Smartsheet, I built and productized an internal agentic platform. I’m now onboarding users, expanding its capabilities, and driving AI transformation across Product and UX—including the organizational alignment needed to put new ways of working into practice. My current focus is hands-on product building, grounded in more than 25 years across visual, UX, and product design. Earlier design leadership roles at Groove and Clari inform how I frame problems, make trade-offs, and connect implementation to what people need.
I work across product definition, design, and implementation, testing assumptions in working software and refining the systems around it.
Understand the people, constraints, and desired outcome before deciding what to build. Keep the first useful version focused enough to test.
Make ideas tangible in working software. Use prototypes, testing, and feedback to uncover gaps and guide the next iteration.
Connect interfaces, data, tools, and agent behavior into a coherent product. Pay attention to context, failure modes, and how the pieces work together.
A product needs to fit the way people work. Onboarding, feedback, and organizational alignment are part of building something useful.
