My Portfolio
This portfolio represents the work of empowered, cross-functional teams I’ve had the privilege to lead. These case studies reflect not just my approach to user-centered design, but also a leadership philosophy rooted in humility, trust, and shared ownership.
From customer-facing experiences to internal tools and partner platforms, each project demonstrates a commitment to quality, excellence, and meaningful impact.
These case studies are just a glimpse into my work—there’s a lot more where that came from. If you’re curious to see other projects or dive deeper into any of these, I’d love to connect.
Transformed a chaotic, unusable product into a cohesive, user-centered experience—while igniting a lasting culture shift toward design excellence
While working at Equinix—the world’s largest data center company—I championed and led the creation of the Quix Design System. What started as a vision quickly became a powerful catalyst for unifying siloed teams, establishing shared design values, and building a collaborative, empowered design culture across global product teams.
At Equinix, the world's largest datacenter company, I sparked a cultural transformation—shifting Design from a fragmented, production-based function into a strategic, research-driven powerhouse. This case study reveals how we united global teams under a shared system, introduced design thinking, and turned chaos into cohesion.

FROM TACTICAL TO TRANSFORMATIONAL: ELEVATING DESIGN IN CISCO'S NETWORKING POWERHOUSE
When I took on the most senior design leadership role in Cisco’s Enterprise Networking group, I stepped into a culture where design had little influence and decisions were fueled by assumptions, not insight. This case study reveals how we transformed that mindset—embedding design thinking, co-creation, and problem framing into the DNA of how products were built.
When CloudPhysics needed to make a bold first impression at their debut tradeshow, I turned a blank booth into a magnetic brand experience. With strategic design, interactive demos, and a sleek presence, we didn’t just show up—we made waves and proved they were a force in cloud analytics.
When I joined VMware, I took on a dual Product and Design Leadership role to rescue a $50M portal critical to enterprise revenue—launched with serious structural flaws that jeopardized customer trust. Under intense executive scrutiny, I led the transformation of MyVMware.com into a high-performing, user-centered platform by tackling licensing chaos, overhauling broken core experiences, and restoring confidence through strategic design and product leadership.
