I speak on what I actually build: AI product design, design systems at enterprise scale, and the business case for design as a growth lever.

My talks come from real engagements, leading design at DISH Network, advising founders on fractional design leadership, and judging international design competitions, not theory.

What I Talk About: Practical talks on AI, design leadership, and building products that scale, not slide-deck theory.
