Professional Summary

Currently · Lead Product Designer @ Innobot Health

12+ years designing products that matter — from Fintech and Web3 to Healthcare AI.

I don't just design with AI — I build entire workflows around it. Claude for strategy and copy, Gemini & ChatGPT for research synthesis, Claude Code for rapid prototyping.

At Innobot Health, I shape clinical AI tools that affect how care is delivered. I build design systems teams actually use, hire and mentor designers, and run DesignOps that keeps velocity high. I'm the designer you bring in when you need someone who leads from the whiteboard to the roadmap.

Outskill

I don't just design. I build design culture.

The work you see in the portfolio is the output. The systems, processes, and teams behind it are what I actually build.

Team Building

Scaling design orgs from the ground up — not just hiring, but architecting the structure that lets creative teams do their best work.

  • Built design teams from scratch across multiple orgs
  • Established hiring frameworks and rubrics
  • Defined role ladders and growth paths for designers
  • Cross-functional partnering with Product & Engineering

DesignOps

Turning design into a scalable system — governance, tooling, and workflows that eliminate rework and accelerate ship velocity.

  • Design Systems reducing component rework by 50–60%
  • AI workflow integration cutting iteration cycles by 40%
  • Handoff standards and dev-collaboration protocols
  • Tooling: Figma, Zeplin, Storybook, Notion, n8n

Mentorship & Growth

Growing junior and mid-level designers into independent, strategic contributors — shaping careers, not just critiquing deliverables.

  • Mentored designers across levels (junior → senior)
  • Regular 1:1s, portfolio reviews, and critique sessions
  • Created internal learning resources and workshops
  • Championed psychological safety in design critiques
