Let’s build something together/


Available for full-time, fractional and contract engagements as a design leader, founder designer or staff-level designer/Super IC. I love helping teams design innovative customer and employee experiences that build trust and inspire action, and I thrive where ownership and accountability is critical to success.

Most of my career, I’ve worked across multiple projects while building foundational system and capabilities for large brands and enterprise. Lately, I’ve taken a more focused approach with healthcare and retail clients helping them make their customer’s digital and physical lives easier.
