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.
Jay's design instincts are unlike anyone I've worked with. His ability to translate how clients actually work into product features that matter is what helped us leapfrog competitors. I haven't met many design leaders who combine those traits.

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.

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.
