Work with me
Hire me for your team, or bring me in for a project.
Either way, I start by finding the real problem. Then I get the right people behind it, and build something that keeps working long after I've moved on.
For hiring teams
Head of Design · Design Lead
I'm looking for a role where design has a seat at the strategy table, or needs someone to earn it.
What I bring
- Eight years as the senior design voice across three ecommerce businesses
- 0-to-1 products like TARA, and large-scale redesigns with measurable outcomes
- Design systems, research practice and DesignOps built to outlast me
- Credibility with luxury maisons, product heads and engineering alike
- A team leader who grows designers, and 138 mentoring sessions outside work
Where I do my best work
- Problems with no benchmark to copy
- Categories where emotion drives the decision: luxury, beauty, lifestyle, AI-assisted commerce
- Leadership that wants design to shape the strategy, not just decorate it
- Remote, or relocation for the right team
For founders & leaders
Consulting, for businesses that want to grow without losing their soul.
I take on a small number of engagements at a time, so each one gets real attention.
