About AG
Group Lead, Principle Product Designer at Intuitive
A dog dad committed to Design, Humanitarian Causes & Education. People first. Currently at Intuitive, where we are redefining minimally invasive care through advanced robotic systems.
My design superpowers come from 8 years of experience with a proven track record for designing and building innovative digital products and leading large multidisciplinary teams. I've had the pleasure to work for creative and inspiring organizations such as Obama for America, Stanford University, NASA, Airbnb, PlanGrid, and currently Autodesk.
Some of my strengths include...
User Experience Design- I have a customer-centric approach by combining design thinking, product intuition, and business proficiency to help teams find meaningful solutions. This includes finding user needs, building empathy, articulating ideas through great storytelling, and taking on overall creative direction for large scale projects.
Design & Product Strategy- I have extensive experience leading brainstorms, sprints, workshops, and storytelling exercises to generate new ideas and guide every team member to a singular goal and product vision. I aim to help every team member (not limited to design) work through ambiguity and find what matters most to the user and the business.
Team Management & Leadership- I've built large teams from the ground up and I've helped grow existing teams. I provide individualized career support, mentorship, and advocacy for multidisciplinary groups. I'm efficient at hiring great new talent and helping team members find professional growth and career development.
Marketing & Branding- Extensive knowledge in brand building. I have experience in articulating brand principles and create an entire brand identity with style guidelines. Also experienced in merging brands and extending established brands to new products.

“Anthony's mentorship was a meaningful experience. Expressing his commitment to the design community, he skillfully guided me to discover my interest in the drone video industry. Using open-ended questions, he helped shape my future direction. Addressing concerns about my portfolio, he provided a visual alternative and encouragement, fostering thoughtful discussion.”
“Anthony is highly inspiring and understanding. He gave me curated advice on where I could work on. I look forward to booking with him again!”
“Anthony was extremely helpful. He was easy to talk to and very encouraging. I asked him about his career path and the unique challenges of his current role. I also got advice on how to be successful in the first 90 days of a design role--it was cool to hear that he usually comes up with a plan like this as well.”
