From founding an acquired startup to AI experiences at Amazon—building products, teams, and what comes next.
Companies I've led design for
I've promoted 10+ designers and managers across Amazon, AWS, and T. Rowe Price. Great work comes from great teams—that's where I spend my energy.
I connect the north star to the daily work. I drive the vision, shape the roadmap, and make sure execution follows. I've done it from startup to enterprise scale.
I've designed agentic and AI-first experiences at Amazon at enterprise scale. The work is still evolving—and so am I.
Jay is one of the most impactful professionals I've collaborated with. He has a rare ability to drive large-scale projects from concept to execution while keeping stakeholders aligned the whole way. Strategic thinker and hands-on executor — I haven't seen many who do both well.
Ricardo Montes
Sr. Product Manager
Amazon
Jay was my manager at AWS, and his mentorship was transformative for my career in designing for AI and intelligent systems. What made him exceptional was how he embodied his ‘design is a team sport’ philosophy — creating an environment where I felt empowered to ask questions, experiment, and push boundaries. He challenged me to think bigger and connect my work to broader product strategy and organizational impact.
Nicole Warner
Sr. UX Designer
AWS
Jay is a true thought leader — curious, always learning, and bringing fresh perspectives to the team. He has an ability to see around corners, anticipating challenges before they become problems and designing for where things are going, not just where they are. What I appreciate most is how he shows up as a partner: collaborative without ego, open to feedback, and genuinely invested in the success of the product and the people around him.
