How I lead

How I work with teams.

Good teams need enough structure to move with confidence, without taking ownership away from the people closest to the work.

01

Start with what needs to change

The work starts with the user and business outcome, defines success measures early, and keeps everyday decisions connected to a clear purpose.

02

Make ownership visible

Decision rights and handoffs are made explicit, so designers and partners have the clarity and space to lead their part of the problem.

03

Reduce risk through learning

Research, engineering and delivery constraints are brought into the conversation early, with short learning loops to test assumptions before they become expensive commitments.

04

Raise the quality of the room

Healthy challenge, clear reasoning and coaching through questions help the team become more capable instead of more dependent on one person.

About

Background and experience.

I’m a UX design leader with 11+ years across backend engineering, product design, research, and team management. At Deloitte USI, I lead cross-functional delivery across web platforms, performance dashboards, and AI-powered internal tools—while remaining close to the craft.

Starting as a backend developer shaped how I design: I look for the system behind the screen, make constraints explicit, and work comfortably with both designers and engineers. An M.Des in Product Design added human-centred inquiry to that technical foundation.
