Where I focus

PEOPLE

Leadership & Culture

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.

STRATEGY

Strategy & Clarity

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.

AI /UX

Intelligence by Design

I've designed agentic and AI-first experiences at Amazon at enterprise scale. The work is still evolving—and so am I.

IN THEIR WORDS

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.

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.
