UX & Product Design Speaker: AI, Growth & Leadership
Keynotes, panels, and workshops on AI product design, growth strategy, and design leadership, drawing on 12+ years building products at DISH Network and Toptal
My Talks Available On:
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.
