As a design advocate at zeroheight, I leverage my extensive professional experience to support and empower design system makers to do their very best. My experience spans from DesignOps to design systems, people management to project management, and inclusive design to UX strategy. Here are some of my work highlights. I’m happy to talk about these projects and experiences. LinkedIn is the best way to get in touch!
DesignOps (operational efficiencies)
I love applying my UX skills to enhance how people and teams work. My specialties include implementing horizontal programs, scaling efforts, and leveraging technology for workflow improvement. I enjoy crafting solutions that minimize change aversion and are easy to implement.
Design systems
I’ve been working on design systems for over ten years. My experience includes everything from tactical to strategic work, building teams, and consulting other enterprise companies about their design systems.
Accessibility (a11y)
With over two decades (Yikes!) in accessibility, I’ve honed skills from hands-on design and code implementation to shaping company-wide strategies. Beyond work, I’m passionate about teaching accessibility to the design and dev community, sharing practical insights that make a real impact.
Design advocacy
I champion the success of design systems and design operations by collaborating with cross-functional teams, empowering customers with best practices, and supporting an inclusive design community.
Building great teams
Building great teams goes beyond hiring; it includes welcoming and onboarding new hires and creating effective processes to ensure their success.

Inclusive design
Designing with inclusion in mind is a valuable skill that can set you apart, but I believe everyone should have proficiency in it. That’s why I’ve taught numerous UX practitioners how to create accessible and localized designs.
