I lead experience design and research for growing and global companies.
I coach teams towards establishing an experience Northstar and then building that out to drive business performance and customer preference.
Where I Focus
Experience Strategy and Vision
Defining an experience vision, strategy, and roadmap. Collaborating with stakeholders to drive alignment

Experience optimization for conversion, customer preference, and satisfaction
Coaching and Scaling Teams
Leading, coaching, and scaling organization-wide experiential teams.
With over 20+ years of experience in leading product and digital marketing teams, I am a seasoned UX leader who thrives on creating customer-centric experiences that drive business outcomes and brand loyalty. As the Global Head of User Experience, Design, and research at Gap Inc., I oversee the end-to-end design and research process across the Gap, Old Navy, Banana Republic, and Athleta brands, covering web, mobile, in-store, and enterprise platforms.
I champion the core user and elevate the experience across all touchpoints, enabling cross-functional collaboration and alignment. I have established KPIs for usability, delight, and preference and scaled the design and research team to support the delivery of innovative and engaging solutions. I led the vision, design thinking, and customer journey initiatives and served as the product design/usability escalation point.
