Hi, I’m Ari.
I'm a customer-focused leader with 10+ years of experience directing UX/CX operations and building cross-functional global UX teams. As a Senior Manager of UX/CX Strategy at Johnson Controls, I oversee diverse interdisciplinary teams, fostering relationships with both designers and stakeholders to establish design practices that people want to work with and be a part of.
I thrive on solving complex business problems through great design and research and growing teams to do the same. My specialty is UX team leadership in an enterprise context. I pride myself on building and leading highly effective, empowered UX teams and setting product vision to achieve business goals. I love business strategy, vision, and planning as much as I like discussing interaction design and user research.
