Product Leadership and Design Strategy

Blending creativity and logic to navigate ambiguity & create phenomenal product experiences.

About

Great products are built upon understanding human emotions and the finely tuned intersection of business and design.

From architecture to medicine and on to consumer goods, I look at each challenge as a complex system of parts. Enhancing that perspective with empathy is how I bring value to the table.

I did not follow a traditional product career path, but my curiosity and passion for learning have led me into product leadership. I have a solid grounding in product best practices with a Master in Product Development from Northwestern University, but I also leverage my broader experience and creativity daily to drive innovation and grow product businesses.
