Non-stop Bay Area design problem-solver.
I'm a Sr. Product and UX Designer Director based in San Francisco. I've designed across devices and omni-channel workflows onto the newest AI-powered workflow tools.
I work closely with product managers, engineers and stakeholders to balance innovation, feasibility and business objectives. All of it inside a shared vision of user-centered design. I’ve led design systems, directed teams, and stayed hands-on the entire way.
My work spans e-commerce, fintech, media, devices, enterprise software and early-stage startups. Some of it shipped to tens of millions of people; some of it became companies that were acquired by Apple and others.

Every portfolio needs one unserious page. For years I’ve taken the pratfalls so the work doesn’t have to. Chasing the hard problems, taking the mission impossible design briefs, landing on my feet while walking back on the scene for the next challenge.
Have a problem that needs solving?
I consistently show up with the Pro in Professional. I’m open to Senior Product and Design Leadership Director & Founding roles. Let’s talk.
