I’m a design leader with a proven track record of innovating multi-platform digital experiences. Things like envisioning a new brand for a top 5 US Bank; designing a first of its kind “push-media” smartphone for a Mark Cuban startup; creating one of the first interactive tv interfaces (Yahoo!); designing the first smartwatch UI (Microsoft SPOT); establishing Adobe’s first design system; and pioneering award-winning interactive marketing experiences for Sony, Nike and Redbull. 

As a Product Design Director, I thrive at the intersection of strategy, critical thinking, and effective communication. My experience, and my hybrid background in both physical and digital human design factors, equips me to lead across multiple disciplines. By leveraging moments of opportunity and research insights, I motivate and coach my teams to be courageous and unafraid to rapidly sketch, prototype and evolve new systems, methods, patterns and creative solutions. Through collaborative design critique, my teams ultimately deliver cohesive, connected and quantifiably successful interactive experiences.

Over the past decade, I’ve built and mentored high-performing cross-functional teams. I’ve developed structured career development paths alongside operational and organizational models that facilitate scalable and influential design growth. I’ve orchestrated internationally-based project teams (UX/UI, research, project management and front-end development) for top tier global banks’ b2b, mobile app and innovation initiatives. I’ve also matured internal product design teams distributed across software design platforms including Intranet, mobile and Web apps, ATM/kiosk, enterprise software, and consumer/retail websites.
