Hello! I'm Romeo,
I'm a product design leader with a proven track record of delivering positive results across consumer and enterprise platforms. I specialize in design governance, fostering a customer-first culture, and aligning design strategies with business priorities through executive partnerships and cross-functional collaboration.
As a mentor and coach, I empower managers and designers to build high-performing teams and design scalable, research-driven products that resonate with users and drive meaningful business outcomes. I am passionate about using design as a bridge between customer needs and organizational goals, crafting trusted, functional, and transformative user experiences.
My leadership experience includes Account Membership, Privacy Regulations, and Enterprise Platforms such as Cloud Data, CICD, and Authorization tools. I also spearheaded the launch of “denali.design,” an open-source design system that enhanced consistency, efficiency, and scalability across enterprise products.
