Leadership • Mentorship • Design Systems • Collaborative Processes

I’m a passionate servant leader with over 20 years of professional experience, building & leading teams through transformative periods.

 

I love creating simple, enjoyable experiences that people want to return to over and over — whether that’s bingeing their favorite content, finding an unforgettable live event, or creating a better expression of who they are.

To create those experiences, I help unblock designers on my team do their best work. I foster creativity through a culture of transparency, trust, and support. I encourage my teams to understand the user, embrace business goals, and understand tech constraints so they become strategic partners with product and engineering. And I collaborate with my peers to remove obstacles.

Together, we can employ a strong design thinking process to solve complex problems with simple solutions, and help move companies forward.

successful design is about being curious and empathetic to get to the root of users’ needs, then testing and iterating through creative solutions.
