About
Over 14 years, I’ve built a career in user experience design and leadership that spans B2B SaaS, global open-source project, and advertising/media. At Rainforest QA, I led the design team, collaborating with senior staff across departments to design and build AI test automation products. My tenure at Mozilla Corporation saw me spearheading design initiatives for Firefox Mobile and Firefox Focus. I also conceptualized features like Multi-Account Containers and Firefox Screenshots. While at Wieden + Kennedy, I planned and tested web experiences for major brands like Nike and Nokia.
