Design & Product Operations

Your teams have the talent. The system around them decides how much of it ships.

I build the operating systems that help teams deliver predictably, even as the organization grows and the work speeds up.

01Where teams get stuck

Where delivery tends to break down.

If a few of these sound familiar, the system is asking for attention.

Delivery

Dates keep slipping

Work loops through review until nobody can say with confidence when it will ship, and every miss chips away at trust with product partners.

Intake

Requests arrive half formed

Work comes in through side channels with unclear scope, so the first week of every project goes to figuring out what was actually asked.

Scale

The team outgrew its processes

What worked at twenty people strains at sixty, and your leads spend their days coordinating when they could be coaching.

Visibility

Planning runs on guesses

Capacity, priorities, and progress live in different places, so staffing and roadmap calls get made without a clear picture.

02How I work

A steady, measurable path from friction to flow.

Every engagement follows the same arc, scaled to the size of the team.

01

Baseline

I measure how work actually moves today, from intake to delivery, including review rounds, slippage, and capacity.

02

Find the seams

Together we map where handoffs, reviews, and decisions stall, then rank them by what they cost the team.

03

Redesign with the team

Changes get built with the people who live inside them, which is what makes them hold after launch.

04

Tune and scale

We track the same measures quarter over quarter and keep adjusting until predictable delivery feels normal.

03Proof

Five years building this inside a publicly traded HR technology company.

Names and figures stay private under NDA. I am happy to walk through the details in conversation.

Operating model

Built design operations from the ground up

Created the planning, governance, and people systems for a design organization that grew from under 30 to 60 people across nine teams, seven product portfolios, and two locations.

Delivery

Untangled delivery

Rebuilt intake, review, and planning as one connected system. On-time delivery climbed while review rounds and chronic slippage fell, tracked across five quarters.

Roadmapping

From team signal to operations roadmap

Turned annual team feedback into a prioritized roadmap, then planned, facilitated, and delivered it, including the pieces that missed and what changed because of them.

People

Growth systems and mentorship

Led onboarding and growth frameworks, managed the design internship program, and guided an established design systems team through governance across portfolios.
