I lead product design for specialized B2B users in regulated industries. Discovery-driven, accessibility-first, AI-augmented.

Expertise & skills

Summary of work and expertise

7+ years designing for specialized B2B users in regulated industries. Sociology-trained, research-led, hands-on across Discovery, design systems, AI-augmented practice, and team leadership.

Research-led Discovery

Discovery as a continuous input to the roadmap, not a phase that closes before design begins. JTBD interviews, persona libraries built from real workflows, theme synthesis, prototype-based hypothesis testing. AI-accelerated synthesis means second-round validation lands while it can still change a decision - not after engineering has committed.

End-to-end workflows for specialized B2B

Multi-persona regulated workflows across automotive, public sector, food authority, and developer infrastructure. Designed end-to-end so the case worker, the compliance specialist, and the downstream auditor reach the same record through the same components. Audit-ready, accessible, system-grounded.

Hands-on design leadership

Hands-on leadership at small-team pace - running the playbook personally before handing it off. ~10 designers and engineers mentored one-to-one. 3 design systems built and governed. Annotation templates and Discovery rituals adopted across the wider Capgemini design practice. POV on AI: "AI accelerates synthesis - it doesn't replace judgment. The point isn't to prototype faster. It's to run more Discovery, more rigorously, than a traditional team of my size could."
