With over 22 years of experience in design I’ve been fortunate to work in advertising, research, and product - leading projects spanning blockchain to artificial intelligence. In the last decade I've formed and fostered three high-functioning design teams across three different product-software organizations.

While I'm passionate about everything from psychology to typography, I love being a strategic leader setting data-driven visions, managing creative people, driving processes and substantiating design culture.

I've had extensive experience working on and with executive teams all while partnering closely with Engineering and Product Management to deliver usable, successful solutions that meet user needs, subsequently meeting business needs.

☞ Before working in Product and software, I worked in several Advertising Agencies around the country where I led interactive and digital projects. Read about my journey from Advertising to Product on Medium.

I was fortunate to work for clients spanning industries and verticals - companies like Gatorade, 3M, Chiquita and more.

Leading up to this point in my career I made a distinct shift over to Product and haven’t looked back. I knew I was more passionate about building something constructive and contributing to society more positively than what advertising had afforded me.
