I lead product design teams to collaborate and thrive, by helping designers grow into empathetic leaders and allies.

I bring a breadth of experience, from helping to launch a startup to expanding a seasoned product.

I develop scalable design systems, move fast on user feedback, and focus on delivering real impact on people's lives.
With a decade of design experience, I've learned to recognise the unique creative process in each designer.

I tune in for cues on when to push them to solve a problem for themselves, or when to collaborate closely to keep the process moving.

As a design leader, my goal is to create a space where people feel inspired, invested, and protected to do their best work.

Jade is maybe the best product UI/UX designer I've ever worked with... and I've worked with some phenomenal talent at Mint and as VP of Product Innovation at Intuit. I find her design aesthetic irreplaceable.
