I lead Product and Design for Google AI Studio, Gemini's flagship developer platform. I own product strategy across our model playground and vibe-coding surfaces, create demos for major model launches (Nano Banana Pro, Gemini 3 Pro, Gemini 3 Flash, and others), and run AI education programs that teach teams across Google how to apply these models to their work.

Beyond shipping product, I'm trying to change how we work as an organization. That means vibe-coding demos and Figma prototypes, contributing directly to the codebase, and leading by showing rather than just directing. My belief is that design and product leaders should be able to operate both in the weeds and from above, and I try to model that daily.

Came in as the first design leader to build the function from scratch. Established product design practices, led a revamp of the entire platform, and personally designed the first iOS app. The brand and motion teams I built ended up producing content with millions of views, becoming a core lever for growth. Along the way, I spoke on the a16z podcast about voice AI, covered how we build and work, and started the ElevenLabs NYC office.

Grew from IC to Design Director during Brex's hypergrowth years, leading design teams through the company's strategic pivot from a card product to a full enterprise spend platform. Shipped Brex Empower, budgets, reimbursements, and bill pay while also owning company storytelling and producing the launch videos that shaped how Brex showed up in market. This is where I really built my playbook for scaling design organizations while still shipping complex financial products with consumer-grade craft.

Joined at 21 with no formal design experience and grew into product leadership over five years. Shipped across Foundry, Contour, Beacon, Rosetta, and Gaia, solving hard data visualization problems for defense, intelligence, and commercial clients. Eventually moved from design to product management, learning how to deploy mission-critical software in high-stakes environments. Palantir is where I learned how to operate: stay resourceful, move fast in ambiguity, ship things that actually matter. It's the foundation everything else is built on.
