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 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.

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.

Working with Jay is like working with innovation in motion. His vision is breathtaking, his balance between client and business needs is remarkable, and the culture he builds makes an already amazing job, perfect.
