Design leadership across software and hardware.

At Apple, I design tools for building and evaluating AI. My work spans software and physical products—from map design and enterprise design systems to connected hardware and vehicle interiors. I’ve led design for autonomous systems, search, and micro-mobility, working across product direction, interaction design, and hands-on prototyping.
