About me

Currently, I’m Head of Product Design/Product Manager at Zippy, where we are making the dream of home ownership possible for thousands while also making the process of mortgage approval “Zippy fast”. I have 19+ years of experience working on digital products both in-house and as a consultant. I’ve worked with/for several companies, large and small. I love building and designing complex and ambitious software.

Prior to Zippy, I joined Bestow to lead product and design through the build and launch of our MVP product to 49 States and Washington, D.C. Eventually, I moved to focus on product design and have built a team with a strong culture of data & research-informed problem-solving for scale. Of note are the organization of a design system team to support our design system (Kindred) and championing efforts to bring research and user testing to the product planning process.

Before that, I was privileged enough to work with a number of start-ups, enterprises, and government clients. During that time, I was also part of the launch teams for Vinli and Robin Autopilot. I’ve also worked with/for companies such as NBC-Universal, GameStop, and Microsoft.

As a leader, I like to say that I optimize for trust and believe in empowering my teams to make decisions, not micro-managing them. I drive to cultivate effective, well-rounded “solutioneers” who think both in macro and micro and aren’t satisfied with “the way its always been done.”
