How I work

I believe that strategy can only happen with strong execution, and the tool you use shapes what strategies are possible.

A weight and handle decide the amount of force and how much control you give up. Every tool has trade-offs. I pick mine once I know what I’m building and who it’s for, because the people and things on the other end care more about their problem being solved.

I start from what problems are we solving, and how do they show up in the lives of those affected? Tools and trends change faster than problems, so answers rooted in the problem tend to outlast what we build first. Then I look for the rules that make a system scalable, flexible, and able to support real needs.

AI is for me, for my team, and for the work we put out. It takes what we bring and carries it further and faster, so the care and thinking we put into it is what gets multiplied. What’s worth doing still comes from a human perspective.

Time is finite, so I spend mine understanding the problem first, then scaling the solution so we can move on to the next one. At Tatari that includes designing the agents, models, and design system pieces that shape what users experience.

8 weeks → 20 minutes Time to first launched campaign
- Self-serve first New growth clients now start in the self-serve product
- 4x Increase in client capacity per buyer and CSM
Tatari's growth depended on hiring more media buyers. I led design for the self-serve platform that replaced inventory-based buying with a model built around the goals and audience marketers already understood.

- 5 products Using the system, with Upstream still adopting
- 3 themes One token architecture serving Tatari, Upstream, and Vault for Brands
Tatari's design system was buried in one app's repo, and AI tools couldn't read it. I rebuilt it as a public, multi-theme token system with guidelines written for agents.

40% Faster UI development
- 30+ designers, 100s of engineers In the organization supported by the system
- 25 Net new patterns and components across 8 product areas
As the only design systems designer on a pre-launch team, I decided what patterns to build, how teams would contribute, and how two audiences would share one visual language. Four years later, the patterns are still in use.

20% Reduction in time to create an offer
- First self-serve publishing Free Games could be published by developers directly
- Fewer duplicate offers Due to a new lifecycle view
Game developers had to go through a person to publish anything, across three tools that had grown separately. I led research and design for the first Partner Portal, merging them into one product with self-serve publishing.
