A calm, caring leader and fierce advocate, who balances user needs with business goals, takes initiative, invites perspectives, and makes time.
Leadership
In UX and Content Design leadership roles at Google spanning Play, Maps, Payments, and Privacy, Security & Identity, I built and led multiple teams designing trusted and well-crafted products and experiences for billions of global users. I also drove and contributed to several initiatives with Google-wide impact, including co-founding content design at the company.
I’m passionate about people management, and love helping individuals shine and setting teams up to thrive. My leadership style is empathetic, inclusive, and empowering with a focus on unlocking potential, growing next-generation leaders, and nurturing team culture.
I care deeply about creating holistic user experiences, and influence across complex organizations to drive collaboration, consistency, and quality. I also advocate for and invest time in craft, culture, and community.
