I'm a user experience design executive with a passion for building high-performing, multidisciplinary teams that deliver clear, measurable business results through world-class digital experiences. My career spans media, consumer products, and highly regulated industries, where I’ve consistently translated complexity into clarity, aligning user needs with business strategy, and delivering product excellence. I believe great UX isn't just about design, it's about creating trust, reducing friction, and enabling people to confidently navigate complex systems.
As VP of Product Design at Paramount, I lead UX Design vision and strategy across Pluto TV's various platforms, including mobile, web and living room experiences. In addition, I'm leading the unification of UX/UI across Paramount Streaming as we converge our front and back end tech stacks. I partner cross-functionally with product, engineering, marketing, PMO, research, and data analytics to ensure a unified, human-centered approach to innovation. I’ve developed scalable design systems, championed accessibility, and embedded iterative testing and metrics into the design process to drive informed, user-first decisions. I'm also building a strong design culture rooted in collaboration and continuous improvement.
Prior to Paramount, I served as VP of Design at A+E Networks overseeing product and UX design for A+E's entire brand portfolio. I provided the vision and strategic leadership behind the design of digital products, envisioned, developed, and established a structure, process, and team to deliver solutions resulting in useful, usable and enjoyable products that met business needs. I also championed a holistic and unified design approach that maximized value and created efficiencies across properties such as HISTORY, A&E, Lifetime, Lifetime Movies, and FYI.
I’ve also led Merck’s Global Creative Studios, a full service in-house agency, delivering award-winning, enterprise-level, and global solutions within a complex, regulated environment — experience that taught me how to balance compliance and creativity at scale.
Earlier in my career, I held leadership roles at R/GA and Oxygen Media, where I honed my approach to interaction design, storytelling, and customer engagement. Across every role, I’ve stayed focused on outcomes: creating purposeful experiences, enabling cross-functional alignment, and designing with intent.
