UX & Product Design
I began my career as a visual designer, a foundation that continues to inform my ability to craft strategic, user-centric solutions. Over the years, I’ve grown into a versatile design leader with experience spanning ad tech, privacy, and real-time virtual experiences. Currently, as Senior Manager of Product Design at The Trade Desk, I lead a team reimagining the Demand-Side Platform (DSP) to deliver innovative, impactful user experiences. My journey includes managing cross-functional teams at Google, driving trust and security initiatives, leading 0-to-1 projects at Meta, and teaching strategic design at Parsons.
