About me.

I’m a product leader who thinks in systems and executes in details. I untangle complexity at the systems level and bring those insights to life through data, workflows, and AI people can actually use.

At Element14, Spotify, Capital One, and Fjord, I’ve built the connective tissue between strategy and execution by designing with systems thinking at the core. Whether I’m shaping a company’s product portfolio, prototyping AI tools, mapping service journeys, or crafting scalable design patterns, I bridge strategy and execution.

My goal: making complex things work better for everyone, from the big picture down to the last detail.
