I thrive on fostering cross-disciplinary collaboration, translating complex user needs into seamless digital experiences, and championing design’s integral role in shaping how we engage with technology.

Building a Global Design Team

In 2018, I joined Guidehouse, a consulting firm acquired by Bain Capital in 2023 for $5 billion. Within my first six months, I built and scaled the Digital & Emerging Technology design team, establishing new capabilities in Service Design, Research, UX/UI Design, Visual Design, and Front-End Development.

As the Director of Product Design and Innovation Lab Design Lead, I drove design strategy and innovation for public and private sector clients. One key project included a proof of concept for an AI-powered supply chain management app, which secured a $20M contract and improved data analysis and transparency for a $1.7T program.
