I am a designer and design practice leader based in San Francisco and working internationally. I partner (hands-on, in-house/remote) with start-ups, incubators, innovation foundations, and investors to tackle short/longterm design objectives. I lead and mentor cross-functional teams to establish a strong design focus and culture.
Work with me
—as a creative and design lead to help realize a product vision, from the start of the journey through to a successful launch or exit;
—as someone who knows how to redesign an ailing product experience, from the overall brand identity to the interface and CX;
—as someone who can solve tactical design challenges that are causing issues for your audience and stalling growth;
I’m a doer not *just* a thinker or talker—I’ll work with the delivery team to create and ship solutions that are tactical (assuaging early adopters) and strategic (broadening the business opportunity).
Bringing big ideas to life
I am a member of the (small) group of designers who pioneered commercial design for Internet-based products and services. I worked with a vanguard of start-ups and agencies to create customer experiences in areas such as streaming media, audience analytics, social engagement, shared productivity spaces, e-commerce, and more—all long before any of the above became an essential part of our everyday existence.
I continue to help companies foster innovation in high growth verticals such as AI, fintech, sustainability/environmentalism, law and fashion tech. I also work on initiatives that galvanize, grow and mentor creative teams, establishing design culture where it is needed most.
