About

Senior UX & content designer with 15+ years in tech.

I shape product language and lead the teams that scale it. Most recently at Meta, I design content for AI-powered, agentic experiences and have managed a team of 4–8 content designers. Before Meta I wrote and set content strategy at Uber Eats, Google, and Udemy.

I work with design, product, engineering, research, and legal to ship UI copy that helps people get things done — and I build the systems, style guides, and tooling that make that work repeatable across an org. I like roadmapping, UXR sessions, design crits, and finding the clearest possible way to say a hard thing.
