Designing at scale in a global environment means constantly balancing business goals, platform complexity, and diverse user needs. It’s in that challenge where I find the most purpose, building teams and systems that push boundaries while keeping the human at the center of every decision.
In close collaboration with VPs, Senior Directors, Directors, and key stakeholders across product, business, data, research, and engineering, I spearhead design strategies that align with business goals while delivering user-centered outcomes.
By fostering cross-functional partnerships, I help Booking.com push the boundaries of digital travel experiences, aiming to make every trip not only easier but more personalized and connected.
