About

I’m an award-winning, hands-on Design Director focused on innovating for the nuanced relationship between humans and technology.

I lead high-performing teams and partner closely with stakeholders to align aspirations for the future into strategically strong products and design orgs. I have deep experience in designing AI-enabled, zero-to-one experiences.

My approach to leadership centers around psychological safety, trust, and transparency to foster an environment for designers to do the best work of their lives. I’m dedicated to elevating the next generation of design talent, most notably in my role as faculty at the School of Visual Arts.
