product strategy and design for complex enterprise software.
Turns out I'm good at taking technical, organizational, and research complexity and turning it into shared understanding.
Currently: Building an AI Research Copilot for product teams, an AI Bill Explainer for utility customers, and sharing lessons on building alignment through talks - most recently at CalArts.
Three projects I keep coming back to.
Building Oracle's First Business Customer Engagement Platform
I led BCE from discovery through delivery - defining the product strategy, owning the target-state experience, and driving engineering handoff for Oracle Energy & Water's first personalized energy management solution for SMBs.
From Customer-Centric Strategy to Symetra's First Direct-to-Consumer Offering
I led customer research, synthesis, and strategic planning to replace demographic segmentation with behavioral mindsets, aligning stakeholders around a customer-centered vision that informed future digital initiatives and Symetra's first direct-to-consumer life insurance offering.
Leading the Digital Transformation of IEEE Computer Society's 6,000-Page Platform
I led strategy, information architecture, and design for a large-scale modernization effort -- creating reusable templates, governance, and a product framework that aligned stakeholders around a shared digital vision.
My design ethos is simple.
Looking across my career, my goal has been to help people understand what's happening, trust the system, and confidently take the next step.
At the end of the day, complexity is inevitable. Confusion isn't.
I'm most useful where the system is complicated and the stakes are real.

Leading 0→1 initiatives and simplifying complex enterprise systems by aligning customer needs, business goals, and technical constraints.
