• Drive alignment across multiple product teams by making trade-offs explicit and grounding decisions in user and business outcomes.
• Support AI-native product thinking by clarifying how agents interact with the object model and what guardrails should apply.

• Mentor senior designers on object modeling, pattern thinking, and cross-product coherence.
• Help establish reusable practices and tooling for designing at the systems level.
