Director-level UX leader specializing in automotive and inclusive design

Farmington Hills, MI21y exp

“Design and UX leader in automotive and service design who helped ship a novel 2015 Ford Mustang app featuring early augmented reality/visual search capabilities. Combines hands-on product design with strong mixed-methods research and has influenced major business decisions, including research that reportedly saved a client $8M by stopping a poor market launch.”

“Video editor with 15+ years of experience across major NLEs (Premiere, Final Cut, DaVinci, Sony Vegas) and a strong focus on longform YouTube retention through pacing, audio, and recurring hooks. Produced end-to-end, graphic-heavy weekly content for the Ditto Music Channel (self-filmed/edited/narrated/scripted), contributing to a library of 30–40 videos reaching ~5K–200K views each.”

“Product/design leader with founder and product director experience spanning AI advertising and enterprise cybersecurity. They’ve shipped automated ad-generation products, worked on MITRE ATT&CK integration for Cisco SecureX, and bring a distinctly human-centered view of AI that emphasizes usability, analytics, and augmentation of human decision-making.”

Senior Project Management & Compliance Professional in Aerospace & Defense

Englewood, CO8y exp

“Internal audit/GRC professional who partners closely with engineering on access controls, change management, and remediation—often translating "technically compliant" states into realistic threat scenarios and business impact. Has driven measurable reductions in privileged-access exposure through least-privilege resets and recurring reviews, and has hands-on experience troubleshooting real-world deployment/integration issues (including in a manufacturing environment) using logs/metrics and strong escalation documentation.”

“Product/UX leader with deep agency and enterprise experience, including leading a major Synchrony domain consolidation and flexible design system build that withstood a mid-project brand refresh. Blends strategic design leadership with practical AI usage—using Gemini for research synthesis and building a synthetic user testing engine—while maintaining a strong human-centered, ethics-driven perspective on technology.”

“Senior/brand designer with portfolio work spanning fintech and AI SaaS, including leading the Daylight Grow launch for an LGBTQ+ audience across multiple channels (web, social, email, events, merch, OOH). Expanded Cleanlab’s Figma design system in close partnership with engineering and led visual QA to support fast, high-volume iteration without quality drift; also drove direct mail + landing page redesigns for Happy Money to improve acquisition performance.”

“Product/marketing designer with portfolio work spanning a nonprofit-focused mobile app concept (SecondLife) and a sustainability/human-connection rebrand of an e-commerce experience ("Amado" campaign). Experienced building scalable Figma design systems for high-volume output, producing modular templates for a local music venue’s concert graphics, and collaborating asynchronously with growth and creative leadership during an internship at The Bakery Atlanta (e.g., Atlanta Streets Alive).”
