I am a passionate servant-leader in the Experience Design, Engineering & Innovation space. My work shapes the digital transformation of organizations in both the public and private sectors. My client-focused strategies and user-centered design principles have significantly improved public access to government services and allow the federal government to help more people in more places than ever before.

Principal & Customer Experience Leader | Civil Services Group

Booz Allen Hamilton
06.2015 - 10.2021

At Booz Allen I built experience design teams that still deliver value to clients and drive change inside the biggest enterprise environment in the world, the US Federal Government. My charge was to develop deep understanding of the business of government and empower the adoption of private sector innovation at public sector scale. Aimed at the challenges of the 21st century, I served as a hands-on partner and advisor to the leaders of federal agencies and the private citizens they serve. CX-ers are at the heart of creating the ideas that empower people to take command of their relationship with government service providers (e.g. Veterans' Affairs, IRS, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid, Labor, Housing and Agriculture, etc.). Our approach to better experiences for all reimagined complex client environments into integrated portfolios of products, each with specific purpose, clear capabilities and measurable impact. Through thorough research and holistic human centered design we didn't just deliver customer solutions - we built some of the very first teams inside client federal agencies who were taught to fish and then to take ownership of the end-to-end customer experience. This approach created educated and empowered clients who to this day invest in their customers' future rather than struggling to deliver as in the past.
