I work at the intersection of a variety of creative disciplines and have led projects for brands of all sizes across a wide spectrum of industries.
​
I am most excited when the worlds of product, service, and experience collide to create amazing, human-centered outcomes that are as honest as they are beautiful.
The creative process is messy, generally non-linear, and riddled with unknowns. But we can all solve problems and we can all envision something better.
Piercing through the fuzzy front end into a space of collaborative future thinking takes a strategic approach and an experienced guide.

Creative Leadership
​
Bringing vast depth of experience in guiding cross functional teams of designers, engineers, programmers, corporate stakeholders, and end-users through the design process, I thrive in enabling people to create their best work.

Strategic Vision
​
With the ability to switch readily between micro-detail or macro-system implementation at any point in the creative process, I can help teams understand how design fits into a larger ecosystem of brand, service, or experience.

Complexity Simplified
​
Through facilitated workshops or one-on-one sketch sessions with members of my team, I flourish where complicated challenges demand a structured approach and well considered design solutions.
