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 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
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.
Mark Potterf
Head of Design, Network Observability
AWS
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.
