Two decades of work across publishing and adtech: platforms rebuilt, revenue grown, teams scaled, and products designed hands-on. These are the projects that show how I lead.
The work spans leading organizations and writing the CSS. Pick a capability to see where it shows up.
Scaling teams, running governance, and building the habits that let design ship.
Component libraries and the governance behind them. Three built over my career.
Tying design decisions to subscriptions, ad revenue, and conversion.
Dashboards, monitoring, and research-led product design.
Turning a sentence or two of explanation into a concept, then a working product.
Figma prototypes, custom CSS and JavaScript, Laravel backends, and hand-coded sites.
Journalism with real-world impact, identities, and visual storytelling.
As UX & Design Director, I led a 20+ person team of designers, engineers, and QA. The work ran the full range: journalism with real-world impact, a platform redesign, subscription growth, and the systems and habits that let the team keep doing it.
A design system with governance cut design-to-development time by 62%. Shared agile rituals cut delivery time by 32%. Building design capability in-house reduced outsourcing costs by 56%, and the team won four New York Emmy Awards for interactive design.
I defined product vision and KPIs with editorial, product, and revenue leads, so the team worked toward the same measurable goals.
I built a data-driven design culture and embedded UX metrics into product planning, so evidence shaped every release.
I led the Newsday Design System, a component library with visual, interaction, and accessibility standards and clear governance.
I moved both teams onto shared sprint rituals, design reviews, and rapid iteration cycles.
I lead by example, so I stay hands-on in Figma and with AI tools. Where I haven't done something before, I say so and I learn it.
