Building a Global Design Team

Most recently, I built the global design practice at Guidehouse after PwC sold off their Public Sector business to Veritas Capital. Within the first six months, I established new capabilities in UX Design, UI Design, Research, and Front-End Development - leading the recruiting, training and onboarding of all new team members.

At AstraZeneca, I led large keystone projects for global clinical, medical, and commercial organizations in the Oncology and BioPharmaceutical Business Units. I continued my passion for customer experience by leading the internal adoption of design systems and implementing best practices and standards related to digital accessibility.

My dedication to creating better customer experiences continues to motivate me. As I grow as a designer, I aim to lead teams and use emerging technologies effectively to create products and services that improve all of our lives.
