About

For eight years at Nike, I led design for internal tools serving warehouse, inventory, and supply chain teams. I combined hands-on workflow design with team leadership: mentoring designers, facilitating critique, and governing patterns in our internal design system.

I'm looking for Lead Product Designer roles where I can bring that player-coach approach to enterprise, B2B SaaS, or operational products — partnering with design directors, PM, and engineering to ship outcomes at scale.
