Transforming Complex Systems into Intelligent, Human-Centered Experiences
Nashville, TN
About Me
I’m a UX and Product Design leader with a passion for innovation—simplifying complexity and shaping digital experiences that are smarter, simpler, and grounded in real human needs. With 15+ years of experience spanning enterprise software, financial services, and behavioral health technology, I specialize in designing user-centered solutions that merge AI-powered innovation with practical usability and business impact.
Whether rethinking how clinicians engage with technology, streamlining financial workflows, or designing experiences that foster empathy, trust, and clarity in high-stakes environments, my focus is measurable impact - reducing cognitive load, streamlining workflows, and building tools that cut through complexity and enhance focus.
My Approach to Innovation & Leadership
I believe innovation starts with understanding real human needs and turning insights into bold, scalable solutions—elegant in design and grounded in impact. My leadership draws on systems thinking and a collaborative spirit, helping teams bridge vision and execution through focused creativity and curiosity.
I take my work seriously, and while I can be very passionate at times, I try to stay grounded and fun to work with. I’m known for deep focus, creative problem solving, and quick wit that keeps things light when the work gets heavy. I love making the abstract tangible, and I never forget we’re designing for people, not machines.
Personal & Professional Passions
Outside of professional work, I’m deeply involved in Nashville’s vibrant music scene as a guitarist, composer, and producer. From classical guitar to fingerstyle and rock, my musical life has shaped the way I approach visual storytelling and collaboration. I’ve performed across a wide range of genres, composed for documentaries and games, and even produced albums and scored documentary films—experiences that taught me how to tune into emotion, rhythm, and detail in all forms of creative work.
I’m also passionate about culinary arts, photography, fitness, and continuous learning. Whether I’m capturing cinematic portraits, experimenting with a new recipe, or digging into behavioral science and AI, I bring curiosity, structure, and intentionality to everything I do.

I’ve worked across healthcare, financial services, higher education, and media—where I’ve led product strategy, experience design, and AI innovation efforts.
