Principal Product Designer Rev 3.4 · Aug 2026
11+ years · 4 UX practices founded · 0 buzzwords harmed

Summary

Product design leader with 11+ years building and scaling enterprise SaaS across regulated industries — Life Sciences, Finance, and B2B services. Founding designer at four companies — stood up the UX function from zero each time and partnered end-to-end from discovery through ship. Currently leads UX for an 8+ product portfolio, governing a company-wide design system and defining human-in-the-loop patterns for AI-powered workflows. Operates as both a hands-on IC and a force multiplier — mentoring designers, building design-to-engineering pipelines, and turning ambiguous, data-heavy, compliance-bound problems into shipped products.

Trinity Design SystemCompany-wide, token-based→ doc RD-04

Architected the system — token architecture, modular bundles, and 100+ accessibility-compliant UI and AI components in React + CSS — including a dedicated AI module: chat threading, reasoning panels, citation patterns, and explainability surfaces. Made Storybook the single source of truth with a synced Figma library, so every designer and engineer builds from one foundation. Extended it into AI prototyping via Replit and Perplexity skills integrations, a guide, and a prompt library.

Clinical Study MasterChat-led MDM platform→ doc RD-02

Designed a GenAI-powered conversational interface to replace scattered spreadsheets and ad-hoc queries across 847K+ clinical studies from ClinicalTrials.gov, EudraCT, Citeline, and internal sources — with source-attribution and citation layers so every AI response was traceable to its origin, rendered inline as cards in the conversation.

KAM Field AdvisorAI copilot for pharma accounts→ doc RD-05

Designed a conversational platform with 12 structured data modules — account hierarchy, performance KPIs, payer mix, peer benchmarks. Introduced a query-driven navigation model: mentioning an account in a question routes the context, eliminating manual account switching.

Launch AcceleratorPharma launch analytics→ doc RD-09

Designed an orchestration system for global drug launches across markets, milestones, and modalities — making modality (oncology biologic, CNS small molecule, rare disease, vaccine) a first-class concept that seeds baseline plans and country playbooks.
