I lead design teams.
I still write code.

Currently Head of Product Design & Research at A Place for Mom

I’ve grown design and research teams from 3 to 20+, led platform work used by 400+ partners, and shipped 90 successful experiments at Booking.com. I studied engineering and moved into design. I still prototype, especially when the conversation has gone on too long.

Brand

Vision

Connecting family, provider, and advisor journeys so AI guidance and human expertise carry the same care decision forward.
