Leading design with impact
I create the future, strategically build and scale design capabilities, shape design culture, and lead growth-minded teams that transform organizations. My happy place is goal driven and collaborative environments where UX, Product and Engineering partner closely to build creative solutions using AI.
About
I currently lead Product Design at Adobe as a Senior Director. My strategic focus has been in several enterprise marketing products and capabilities including:
- Adobe Experience Manager portfolio products (Content Management System, Digital Asset Management, Cloud Management)
- Adobe Commerce (Merchandising, Order Management, Business Intelligence)
- Adobe Workfront (Campaign Planning, Workflows, Project Management)
- AI-native Marketing Strategy & Ideation agentic product capabilities
- Content Supply Chain and GenAI along the content lifecycle.
Prior to Adobe, I led UX design and research as the Director of User Experience at Magento, accelerating the company's hockey stick growth by building a design culture that delivered experiences our customer love.
Previously, as the Vice President of Digital Experience at Volusion, I established and grew a large, diverse and high performing user experience design, research, and front-end development team that delivered best-in-class SMB and Enterprise commerce products. I also established the company’s first Design and Marketing Services team from the ground up and introduced new apps and services.
Earlier in my career, I had the opportunity work at agencies and solve a variety of sophisticated customer problems. As the Director of Client Services at a creative agency, I built many successful corporate websites, web apps, lead generation and marketing campaigns that helped the agency scale from a handful of clients to hundreds.
I live in Austin, TX with my husband, teenage daughter, and our toy poodle. In my free time, I enjoy traveling around the world and playing tennis.
