Career Journey
From Senior Product Designer to Director of UX Design: 14 years scaling from individual contributor to leading distributed design teams (15+ members) across enterprise platforms serving millions of users
Led UX design for ESG platforms serving major EU energy infrastructure operators and mission-critical fintech systems. Now directing design strategy at Context Labs for enterprise AI platforms combining industrial data intelligence with user-centered design excellence and design systems at scale.
I'm a design leader with 14+ years of experience building enterprise UX teams, establishing design systems, and scaling design impact across industrial data platforms, fintech, critical infrastructure, and security products. My career has taken me from hands-on product design to leading distributed design organizations (15+ team members), establishing design operations frameworks, and positioning design as a strategic business partner.
What drives me is working at the intersection of user needs, business outcomes, and design excellence. I thrive in high-complexity industries (fintech security, critical infrastructure, industrial AI) where I establish design vision, build design teams, and create design systems that enable scalable product development while maintaining exceptional user experiences.
Build and mentor high-performing design teams (15+ members led). Establish design culture, operations frameworks, and career development pathways enabling design team growth and impact.
Establish design systems infrastructure at scale: component libraries, design tokens, governance frameworks. 10+ design systems delivered reducing handoff friction 40-60%.
Research-driven design decisions: validate with user studies, behavioral data, and journey mapping. Lead design strategy aligned with business outcomes and user needs.
Position design as strategic partner: stakeholder alignment, executive communication, and demonstrating design ROI through measurable business impact ($2.5B+ revenue enabled).
