About

Product and design leader partnering with ambitious startups as a fractional executive. I've spent 25+ years building products at Facebook, Instagram, Etsy, and Collective Health, leading teams that scaled Instagram from 1B to 2B+ MAU and taking Collective Health from idea to unicorn. Now I help early-stage companies move faster, build better, and scale smarter through high-craft design and execution.
