About me
I’m a grounded, experienced designer. I lead teams in creating digital products and services that are impactful and prioritize the needs of real people. I have a product mindset and as a systems thinker I lean into making sense of big, complex problems. I apply this to building team standards and designing innovative solutions.
​
Over my career, I’ve worked with a range of companies—from enterprise organizations like AT&T and Microsoft, to mid-sized digital platforms and early to growth-stage startups.
​
I have a traditional design education—BFA in graphic design from California College of the Arts—that roots me in critical thinking and core design principles.
​
I value the journey and relationships
Finding flow with a team, while driving a shared mission is the reason I get out of bed each day. I enjoy working with others and I’m adaptable:
-
I take an active role with other designers leading in a player-coach capacity.
-
I’m a natural leader but I am also comfortable driving work alongside others in a “flat” partnership.
-
I’m skilled at building rapport with other disciplines, partners, SMEs, and end-users knowing diverse contributions lead to the best outcomes.
