Disclaimer: I am NOT the Cheetah Girl. (IYKYK. š)

Iām a Design Operations & Program Management leader who believes that the most thoughtful and graceful user experiences arenāt accidentsāthey are the result of obsessive operational rigor. Most recently, I spent three years at Stripe as a UX Assurance Program Manager, acting as the final gatekeeper for product quality and ensuring that industry-leading design actually translated into flawless execution.Iāve spent the last 15 years navigating the high-stakes ecosystems of Slack, Peloton, and a collection of global creative agenciesālaunching everything from human rights campaigns for the United Nations to digital experiences for Ferrero Rocher. Whether Iām being called a Program Manager, a Producer, or a Design Ops Architect, my mission is always the same: streamlining the "machine" so that designers can focus on the craft.Currently, Iām blending my Big Tech discipline with my passion for high-end aestheticsāobsessing over UX product quality and exploring the world of IP development and luxury e-commerce. I don't just help teams work faster; I help them work with more intention, higher standards, and a lot more soul. āØ
