Dynamic. Insightful. Unforgettable.
Whether delivering keynotes, hosting fireside chats, or joining global panels, I bring energy, humor, and real-world perspective to every stage I step on My talks explore the full spectrum of design leadership, product innovation, and the transformative impact of GenAI, all with a focus on what matters most: inspiring bold thinking and driving meaningful change.
Future of Design Leadership
A thriving design culture doesn’t just serve today’s business—it shapes tomorrow’s. It drives immediate impact while continuously evolving the mindsets, skills, and capabilities needed to lead in an uncertain future. Future-proof design cultures are intentional: grounded in purpose, built for adaptability, and committed to ongoing transformation.
Generative User Experience
The future of design isn’t chat, voice, or gestures: it’s context. Applications will no longer be launched; they’ll be generated from a prompt, and that prompt will be your environment, your intent, your needs. User experience won’t rely on static menus or toolbars, but will unfold dynamically, responding to your actions in real time. Interfaces will emerge only when needed, then vanish—ephemeral, intuitive, and invisible—freeing you to stay present in the moment and focused on what matters most.
Designing the future of business
In today’s fast-moving market, companies either evolve or vanish. Success demands Product Leaders who thrive on change—those who continuously learn, adapt, and stay ahead of emerging trends. These leaders blend human-centered thinking with technical fluency and sharp business insight. They need leaders with a designer’s mindset to foster cultures of collaboration, embrace creative problem solving, and turn rapid iteration into lasting innovation. They don’t just manage progress—they drive it.
