👋🏽 About Me

Who I am as a leader

Leadership Philosophy 🌊

I believe in servant leadership, empowering designers to take ownership, fostering a culture of continuous learning, and advocating for design's strategic role within the organization.

Team building & mentorship 🙌🏽

Over 3 years, I've had the privilege of growing and mentoring design talent, establishing clear career paths, and creating environments where creativity and collaboration thrive.

Strategic Impact & Cross-Functional Collaboration 🧭

My experience spans collaborating closely with product, engineering, marketing, and executive leadership to align roadmaps, drive consensus, and ensure design is a key contributor to business objectives.

Problem-Solving at a Higher Level 🚀

tackling complex business and organizational challenges, not just individual user issues. It's about identifying systemic problems, navigating ambiguity and conflicting priorities, and using design to influence strategy and drive measurable business impact at scale.

Dad to 2 crazy monkeys 🙉 🙈

Fatherhood is my greatest joy. My two sons are my world and they keep me on my toes playing games and dressing up like superheroes. Every free moment I have, I spend with them.

Happily married ❤️

I feel incredibly fortunate to have found my best friend and biggest supporter in my wife, Christina. She's my rock, a constant source of strength and unwavering support through life's challenges.
