In the age of AI, technology alone isn't the differentiator — it's how you design experiences that put humans first while driving enterprise growth. I help organizations build AI strategies that turn customer insights into revenue.

Enterprise Design Leadership

How I Turn Design Into a Growth Engine

From AI strategy and enterprise systems to team leadership and executive storytelling — here's how I help organizations scale human-centered design.

Human-Centered Growth Design

I design experiences where user delight and business metrics align. No trade-offs between what's good for people and what's good for revenue.

Turn every user interaction into a growth opportunity without sacrificing the human experience.

Enterprise AI Strategy

I help Fortune 500 companies identify where AI creates real competitive advantage—not just automation, but transformation of how users experience your product.

Strategic roadmaps that turn AI investment into measurable enterprise UX improvements.

Design Systems at Scale

I architect design systems that survive the complexity of enterprise—multiple teams, legacy integrations, global rollouts, and AI-ready extensibility.

Build design infrastructure that compounds in value as your organization grows.

Building Design Organizations

I don't just coach designers—I build the structures, processes, and culture that make design a strategic function. Hiring frameworks, career ladders, and cross-functional integration.

Transform design from a service team into a strategic driver of business outcomes.

Executive Storytelling & Buy-In

I translate design value into the language executives fund. Board decks, business cases, and ROI frameworks that connect UX improvements to revenue impact.

Get design initiatives approved by speaking the C-suite's language fluently.

From Strategy to Shipped Product

Through Pixelmojo, I don't just advise—I build. When you need strategy to become working software, my team ships AI-powered products that drive real revenue.

The rare combination of senior strategic thinking and hands-on product delivery.

AI Products in Production

Real products, real outcomes. Built by Pixelmojo with the same approach we'll bring to your project.

The Problem

Organizations waste 30–70% of SDR time on leads that never convert. Manual qualification is slow, inconsistent, and impossible to scale.

The Solution

A 12-dimension scoring system that evaluates Intent, Budget, Timeline, Authority, Need, Fit, Engagement, Emotion, Context, Knowledge, Integration, and Orchestration—with full transparency on every routing decision.

The Problem

Your sales chatbot doesn't know what your support bot learned. AI tools operate in isolation, forcing customers to repeat themselves and teams to manually transfer context.

The Solution

A shared intelligence layer where all AI agents access unified memory, learn from each other, and hand off seamlessly—with pre-built agents for Insurance, Logistics, Warehouse, and HR.

Design Leadership Philosophy

7 Principles for the Age of AI

Three decades of enterprise design leadership distilled into the fundamentals that turn human-centered design into measurable growth.

Technology changes fast. Human needs don't. While AI transforms what's possible, the organizations that win are those who use it to serve people better—not replace human judgment. Every AI integration I design starts with the question: 'How does this make the human experience better?'

After three decades working with Fortune 500 companies, I've learned that design's real value isn't in making things pretty—it's in moving business metrics. Every interface is a business decision. Every user flow is a conversion opportunity. Design leadership means connecting aesthetic choices to growth outcomes.

AI is the most powerful design tool we've ever had—but it's still a tool. I use AI to prototype faster, analyze data deeper, and scale personalization further. But strategy, empathy, and creative direction remain human responsibilities. The best results come from AI-augmented humans, not human-replaced AI.

Building for enterprises taught me that brilliant one-off designs don't survive. What survives are intelligent design systems that scale across teams, products, regions, and years. The ROI of systematized design compounds over time—reducing development costs, ensuring consistency, and enabling AI integration at scale.

Enterprise products are inherently complex—multiple stakeholders, legacy integrations, regulatory requirements. The design leader's job is to absorb that complexity so users don't have to. The best enterprise solutions hide complexity while enabling power. This requires saying 'no' more than 'yes.'

Deep user empathy generates the insights that drive innovation. But in enterprise environments, intuition alone doesn't secure budget or executive buy-in. I've learned to start with qualitative understanding, then validate with quantitative proof. Design leaders must be fluent in both human stories and business metrics.

After leading teams across Salesforce, Parsons, and my own agency, I've realized design leadership is fundamentally about translation. Users need advocates. Engineers need clarity. Executives need business cases. The design leader who can move fluidly between these languages builds products that actually ship—and succeed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Let's Clear Things Up

Common questions about working with me and how I can help your team succeed.

I focus on where AI creates genuine competitive advantage, not hype. My approach starts with understanding your business goals and user needs, then identifying where AI can amplify human-centered design to drive measurable outcomes. Whether it's optimizing user flows, automating personalization, or building intelligent design systems—I help you invest in AI that actually moves the needle.

Yes, and that's intentional. Three decades of working with Fortune 500 companies like Salesforce and Parsons taught me how to navigate enterprise complexity. Building Pixelmojo taught me startup speed and resourcefulness. This dual perspective helps me bring enterprise rigor to startups and startup agility to enterprises—wherever it's needed most.

When you work with me directly, you get strategic advisory—AI strategy, design leadership, executive storytelling, and team transformation. Through Pixelmojo, we actually build and ship AI-powered products that drive revenue. Many clients start with strategy and move to execution, or need both simultaneously. We figure out the right approach together.

I thrive in leadership roles where I can impact both design strategy and business outcomes. Whether it's a full-time Head of Design position, fractional design leadership, or strategic AI consulting—I'm looking for organizations ready to turn human-centered design into a true growth engine. Enterprise transformation excites me most.

Three things: First, 30+ years spanning Fortune 500 companies to founding my own agency gives me perspective most designers don't have. Second, I've been building AI-integrated workflows since before it was trendy—so I know what actually works vs. what's hype. Third, I translate design value into business language that executives understand and fund. Design leadership isn't just about making things beautiful—it's about building growth engines.
