About

As a seasoned UX Design leader, I have consistently delivered innovative solutions across a variety of platforms, including mobile, web, tablet, and smart TVs. My experience spans over two decades, during which I've led and scaled design teams to craft high-quality user experiences for enterprise applications. At Palazzo, I'm currently focusing on designing the UX for an AI-powered interior design platform, collaborating with cross-functional teams to refine and integrate AI-driven features seamlessly. My approach is rooted in design thinking, ensuring that every product I work on maximizes user engagement, usability, and satisfaction. In my previous roles, I held leadership positions where I spearheaded the development of design systems, streamlined product design operations, and cultivated a strong, user-centric design culture. I have a proven track record of guiding teams through design thinking sessions and implementing effective design processes that accelerate development. My background as a graphic designer further enriches my expertise, allowing me to approach product design with a comprehensive understanding of visual communication and branding. I am passionate about fostering collaborative environments and continuously pushing the boundaries of design to create impactful, user-friendly products.

Best back-end engineers I've ever worked with...​

“I interviewed about a dozen different firms. DevsData LLC is truly exceptional – their backend developers are some of the best I’ve ever worked with. I’ve worked with a lot of very well-qualified developers, locally in San Francisco, and remotely, so that is not a compliment I offer lightly. I appreciate their depth of knowledge and their ability to get things done quickly. “
