Nice to meet you!

I’m a product design lead, swingin’ through the chaos—turnin’ tangled systems into smooth experiences that help people do their best work. From Grammarly to the US Department of Defense, I helped teams find the rhythm, stumbles and all—because that’s where the magic happens.

I mix story with strategy—partnering up to spot ideas, shape vision and build things that scale. I'm also all about strong design culture: mentoring, smoothing out processes and keeping hiring equitable.

When I’m not , I’m dancing. Lindy Hop’s my jam—born in Harlem, raised on jazz, all about joy, rhythm, connection and improvisation. Kinda like design but with more swingouts.✨

Thinking of teaming up? Let’s see if we swing. Don’t just take my word—see what others say!

Rocio Del Carmen undeniably cares about creating safe spaces and ensuring everyone’s voice is heard. She has helped me realize my confidence while mentoring me through my first full-time role. To say she is a great leader is an understatement—she challenges the status quo of the workplace and brings to light real issues that need to be addressed within the systems we operate under.

Rocio Del Carmen has an impeccable design sense and a keen eye for recognizing that same sense in other designers. She helped accelerate the growth of the design organization from 7 to 75 people while also maintaining a high bar for both craft quality and team values.
