About Me

I'm a Principal Design Manager at Microsoft, leading design across the Power Platform Core team. We build the foundational, end-to-end experiences behind Power Apps, Power Pages, and Power Automate, powering Microsoft's low-code and AI-first strategy.

I drive product vision, business growth, and AI adoption through scalable design systems and platform-level thinking. My work spans model-driven and canvas apps, mobile, pages, RPA, and process mining, enabling millions of makers and enterprise users to build, automate, and innovate with confidence. I partner closely with product, engineering, and research to turn complex systems into intuitive, high-impact experiences.
