I build product strategies where legacy meets relevance.
With global experience across the U.S., Europe, and Asia, I lead cross-functional teams that turn creative vision into scalable, high-performance product systems—delivering results in luxury, mass retail, and everything in between.
My work bridges art and infrastructure, making beautiful things happen—on time, at scale, and with meaning.
