Hello 🪶Robinhood,
I'm excited to learn about your work and share a bit about myself. I'm currently Director of Product Design at Optum, leading design for a consumer-facing app at the intersection of healthcare and finance. I love my team and believe in Optum's position in this space, but I'm exploring opportunities due to a recent re-org.
TL;DR
10+ years of product design expertise with 3 years of proven leadership impact
Actively seeking Director-level roles; also interested in Staff IC opportunities
Specialized experience in fintech, healthcare, and data visualization
Career: Optum, Betterment, Comcast, Hashboard (acquired by Hex)
Leadership: Coaching-driven, direct feedback, servant leadership, mentorship-focused culture-building
Strong suit: Cross-functional influence, 0-1 product launches, adaptability across domains

On AI & Tools I'm passionate about empowering designers to ship code with AI tools—Intercom's approach is my north star. At Optum, we're currently limited to Copilot and Figma, but I'm eager to explore expanded tooling like Cursor.
What I'm Looking For
Remote/flexible work with quarterly in-person visits (I'm based in Columbia, PA and help care for an aging parent)
A respectful, psychologically safe environment where I can do my best work
A world-class team. The best part of my job is helping others grow, and I thrive on continuous learning
