👋
I am Ricki, currently leading strategic design at Microsoft Fabric & OneLake.
I believe good design is about being inclusive, staying curious through research and learning, and connecting with people. Over the past 10 years, I’ve helped modernize low-code platforms, scaled design ecosystems, and collaborated deeply with cross-functional teams to craft tools that empower others to build. I thrive at the intersection of systems thinking and technical empathy—designing with clarity, flexibility, and long-term scale in mind.
