Product strategy & design innovation

As a product practitioner and leader, I am constantly humbled by the projects, people, and problems I have the opportunity to support. All have taught me the value of the pupil mindset with no one solution or structure able to work for all scenarios and no two problem spaces presenting the same. Especially while working in start ups and while consulting diverse clients, products/offerings, markets, and goals/services- my experience reiterated the need for adopting a practitioner mindset of adaptability backed by years of experience.

In new scenarios, I am inclined to acknowledge my knowledge gaps, lean into vulnerability, and identify opportunities for flexibility, growth, and learning. I have found that this mindset also allows me to better empathize and assimilate with new audiences and future proof my practices within the ever changing landscape of technology.

My passion for product, user advocacy, and good design continues to grow with each engagement. I take pride in dissecting challenges and piecing the solution together to optimize user, business, and technology goals.

My professional experience spans many industries and organizations including tech giants such as AWS, Microsoft, and FIS, retail brands such as Under Armor and Sazerac, federal public sector clients including the Department of Labor and Department of Defense, and start-ups such as Drizly, Pluto, Adago and more.
