I build and lead multidisciplinary teams across design, research, and content strategy to drive impact across consumer, enterprise, and AI products.
Companies I've led design for
Coaching teams to think bigger, work smarter, and design with purpose. Championing a culture where design is a team sport.
Translating ambiguity into vision—connecting north stars, metrics, and mechanisms to drive meaningful outcomes.
Designing experiences where artificial intelligence augments human judgment—balancing automation with agency, and insight with trust.
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.

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.

Head of Design, Network Observability

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.
