Project context

Adobe Security is responsible for protecting user data across all products. I was brought in on a short-term contract to design a tool for product-security collaboration. That expanded into an eight-month engagement shaping a scorecard and strategy to help SVPs, VPs, and security champions instantly understand their org’s risk posture. I worked across multiple business units and partnered with Adobe’s AI team to show how AI could go beyond chatbot interfaces and deliver real-time, actionable insights.

My role

  • Sole designer driving vision and execution across multiple internal security tools
  • Partnered with the org’s only program manager, distributed engineers, and business stakeholders
  • Facilitated working sessions with leadership and ops to align product direction
  • Delivered an AI design strategy integrated into the broader VP-level security vision
  • Defined systems that translated complex technical data into clear, prioritized guidance

Challenges

  • No existing product or tooling to build on, strategy and structure had to start from zero
  • Limited alignment across teams and regions on security posture or ownership
  • Required trust-building between US stakeholders and India-based developers
  • Strict data sensitivity meant product value had to be shown without exposing details

Outcome

  • Delivered a unified scorecard that surfaced critical risk areas in seconds
  • Helped SVPs and VPs identify where to focus without needing to dig into detailed tools
  • Positioned the platform as a strategic foundation for future AI and security investments
  • Extended a 20-day contract into an eight-month cross-org engagement

Other Strategic Contributions

I introduced design and product thinking into an engineering-led org, improving delivery quality and relationships across teams. I helped establish a release cadence, created systems for feedback and iteration, and led workshops that brought ops, security, and leadership into shared decision making.
