About

I sit between the people who need software and the people who build it. Lately, I build it too.

Most recently I was the Director of User Experience at Wellesley Global, the company behind SAPinsider and Mastering SAP. My scope was forward-deployed AI application development and integration.

I led visual design, interface and usability for Autonoma, an AI knowledge application for SAP professionals, and integrated its AI-powered knowledge and retrieval capabilities. I scoped, designed and built Mastering SAP Collaborate, an AI-⁠personalized event platform running on live event data, largely on my own.

Before that, more than a decade of customer discovery, experience design and delivery: the FM.com redesign and enterprise design system at FM Global, research and design for BankofAmerica.com through Digitas, landing pages for national brands at Thesis, and independent client work through VE Digital since 2018.

I work as a UX leader and forward deployed engineer, building applications from idea to implementation. The part I care about most is the first conversation: sitting with the people who have the problem, finding out what they need, and shipping something they can use before the requirements are perfect. I build with React, Supabase and server-side AI functions, using AI-assisted development and reviewing every change.

I’m based in New York, work remotely across the US, and speak English, Spanish and Russian. When I’m not designing I’m probably at the piano.
