I build products and the teams behind them. I’ve grown designers from their first role to lead, I work hands-on in both Figma and code, and I stay curious, learning constantly from my team and our users.

ACV Auctions / 2020 – Present · Buffalo, NY
Head of Design
Previously Senior Manager, Product Design; Manager, Product Design; and Senior Product Designer
Led design strategy across three business lines, partnering with 20+ product owners to shape roadmap and priorities while keeping the experience coherent end to end.
Architected and built ACV’s design system from zero: tokens, components, governance. A fragmented multi-team product now reads as though one designer made it, with Figma-to-code parity across 20+ surfaces.
Shipped production features to 100k+ dealers nationwide, including bulk launch flows that compressed launching hundreds of cars into a few clicks.
Led the strategy to evolve the live auction experience, reframing inventory as a two-sided lifecycle and translating it into IA, concepts, and shippable direction.
Unpacked ambiguous, high-stakes problem spaces (assurance, arbitration, personalization) into MVP workstreams and decision-ready artifacts for leadership.
Built the design practice from the ground up: rituals, critique culture, and a career ladder from L1 to Lead. Mentored designers on craft and technical fluency.
Facilitated cross-functional workshops that brought product, engineering, and design to shared decisions faster.
Self-built working prototypes, brand through app, to de-risk concepts and align stakeholders on real artifacts instead of static mocks.

Set creative direction and standards that unified output across a growing, multi-disciplinary team.
Partnered directly with clients and internal teams to turn business goals into creative strategy and shipped work.

Iterated on live products using performance and engagement data to refine the experience.
