I’m a design and innovation lead who thrives on new adventures and big gnarly challenges.

I'm passionate about connecting and empowering individuals, communities, and systems through design, and am eager to take on projects that positively impact people, the environment, or both.

With over 20 years of experience from startups to Fortune 500s, my sweet spot is in the 0-1: deep listening, early-stage problem solving, aligning and energizing stakeholders, and leading researchers, designers, strategists and technologists to conceptualize, incubate, and bring powerful ideas to life.

  • Intuitive leader: Audacious risk-taker and growth-seeker with innate organizational logic

    Empathic problem solver: Deep listener who thrives on connecting disparate themes, people, ideas, and solutions

    Strategic designer: Systems thinker with obsessive attention to detail

    Brave communicator: Known for asking tough questions, giving thoughtful feedback, and articulating a crisp point of view

    Generous collaborator: Innovation enthusiast, evangelist and super connector

  • Invent, design + launch new products: Balance deep expertise in user-centered design with strategic business direction and market success. From initial research through design, roadmap development, acquisition and launch.

    Lead innovation teams + initiatives: Guide multi-disciplinary teams through gnarly challenges with a bias toward action. Excel in Human-Centered Design practices: research, synthesis, design sprints, prototyping, and user testing.

    Workshops + executive facilitation: Lead workshops, design sprints, and multi-stakeholder initiatives

    Stakeholder management: Inspire and align diverse stakeholders (clients / partners / design, technology, and development teams)

If you're looking for a design leader who combines strategic acumen with a deep commitment to purpose-driven endeavors, I’d love to hear from you.
