Skills
Summary
As a seasoned UX/Product Design leader, I enjoy building both people and products. I specialize in delivering user-centered, impactful solutions through holistic design thinking, with a proven track record of driving innovation and scalability in both startups and Fortune 500 companies. In my current role leading Design at Valon, I spearhead strategic initiatives that scale user experiences across consumer-facing and internal platforms, driving significant business growth. My leadership includes implementing user-centered design practices, overseeing design across multiple product areas, and leading a comprehensive brand refresh that significantly improved homeowner NPS. Previously, at Digitas, I led strategic redesigns that enhanced customer engagement for major brands like BlackRock and Nissan. My experience also includes product and design leadership roles at Bomoda and XO Group, where I drove market expansions and built high-performing teams. I thrive in a player-coach model, balancing active contribution with mentoring and developing design teams. My focus is on creating memorable, user-driven experiences and fostering collaboration to deliver innovative, practical solutions that align with business goals. See my work: tingai.cargo.site
