As a Design Lead with experience as multiple AAA studios, I've had the privilege of guiding talented teams at Bungie, Blizzard, and Minecraft/Microsoft. With a career spanning multiple industries and iconic brands, I've developed a unique blend of design expertise, leadership skills, and curiosity. I thrive on creating design systems that empower teams to work efficiently, creatively, and inclusively. My focus on accessibility, consistency, and user-centered design has enabled me to develop comprehensive design systems, toolkits, and guides that help teams thrive. As a dedicated advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion, I believe in celebrating individual strengths, fostering growth, and creating spaces where everyone can contribute and flourish. I'm excited to leverage my experience to drive inclusive design, empower teams, and make a lasting impact in the industry.
