I've led product design and design systems for a live service product with millions of users, managing teams of 10 to 13 designers and shipping across multiple platforms. I build systems that scale, partner directly with engineering, and care a lot about craft. Previously at 2K Games, I shipped 11 NBA 2K releases and led the front end on 6 of them.
