Design is about making connections.

Design is about making connections.
I help organizations connect to create memorably simple customer experiences and lead design teams that get results.
Empathetic and approachable, collaborator and connector; I make a difference through building bridges and bringing people together. I have deep and diverse experience creating design systems, giving creative direction, organizing design operations & processes within agencies, consulting firms, and in-house organizations.

My career as a designer has taken me to some interesting places.
I've trained TSA agents, I've helped Veterans, I've sold newspapers and I've seen what's in your wallet. In every situation my curiosity, passion and empathy keep me learning and growing.
