• Create a culture of strong product thinking, rapid learning, and high creative standards.
• Represent the voice of designers, typographers, and creative professionals in all product decisions.
• Balance automation and assistance with respect for typographic nuance, global languages, and accessibility.
• Invest in research and experimentation to understand how AI can elevate—not flatten—typographic expression.
• Define success metrics that reflect creative empowerment, adoption of AI-powered features, and long-term platform health.
• Clearly communicate strategy, progress, and findings to executive collaborators and cross-functional partners.

• Clear point of view on how generative AI should augment human creativity.

• Comfort operating in ambiguity and shaping direction in rapidly evolving spaces.
