Recently, I was a Design Lead for Prisma Cloud of Palo Alto Networks, where I led design across the core Prisma Cloud product, platform integrations, new product acquisition strategy and was the point of contact for Prisma Cloud’s internal design system (used by 5+ products). In addition to product design responsibilities, I created a user research database, participated in research sessions and mentored designers across the Palo Alto Organization through design feedback and reviews.

Previously, I was the founding designer and Design Lead for Aporeto (acquired by Palo Alto Networks) — a zero-trust cloud security product that works on any infrastructure, any application and any cloud. Aporeto was a microsegmentation product that enables teams to define a hierarchical organization structure, identify metadata for workloads, create policies, and monitor traffic. I was responsible for defining features, wireframing and developing concepts, user research and testing, and leading the design direction for our product team. Post acquisition, I was responsible for integrating the Aporeto product experience and features with Prisma Cloud.
Before that, I worked out of Vancouver, San Francisco and remote as a Product Designer for Dialpad and UberConference (now Dialpad Meetings) — unified communications products that connect teams with voice, video, messaging and meetings. For Dialpad, I worked on desktop and mobile apps, integrations (such as Salesforce, GSuite, Office365, Zendesk and Slack), brand design and Dialpad’s design system.
