Career Story
A design leader who builds at the intersection of craft and strategy. Started as a junior designer at a 10-person startup, where she shipped the product that landed their Series A. That eye for "what feels right" led her to Stripe, where she redesigned the onboarding flow used by 2M+ businesses.
Now leading design at Linear, she's shaping how teams think about software. Her writing on design systems has been read by 50K+ people, and she speaks at conferences about the gap between design tools and design thinking.
