Design

I’ve been passionate about innovation technology for 25 years, continuously curious and reinventing myself across product experience design, marketing, and content/writing disciplines. Most recently I’ve brought this to my work as a design consultant, executive writing coach, Head of UX Design for Amazon Alexa AI — and publishing my new book One-Day Sabbatical in fall 2023.

I’ve designed for voice, screen, and physical spaces, with superpowers in UX strategy and writing. I synthesize business, technical, and experiential inputs to see around corners, find new intersections, and generate novel solutions to customer problems and business needs.

I evangelize design within and beyond tech, and am passionate about developing new design leaders. I believe in design as a partner, not a service. As a queer Latina in tech, I live and amplify inclusivity and equity in design, including fairness in AI.
