I'm a hands-on design leader combining strategic vision with craft to drive impact across consumer, enterprise, and AI platforms.
Companies I've led design for
Designing experiences where artificial intelligence augments human judgment—balancing automation with agency, and insight with trust.
Translating ambiguity into vision—connecting north stars, metrics, and mechanisms to drive meaningful outcomes.
Coaching teams to think bigger, work smarter, and design with purpose. Championing a culture where design is a team sport.
In my 20 years in UX, Jay is hands down the most supportive and effective leader I've worked with. He builds teams where people feel trusted and empowered to do their best work — and he knows exactly when to step in and when to get out of the way. Any organization would be fortunate to have him.

Jay creates an environment that consistently drives innovation and creative excellence. Three things stand out from my time working with him: his strategic leadership and dedication to pushing the team toward bolder concepts, his empathetic approach that created the psychological safety needed for creative risk-taking, and his genuine dedication to meeting customer needs. He’s someone I’ll be continually following to learn from.
