A career road well traveled.

From my roots in graphic design and advertising, to honing my skills in UX and product design, it’s been a long, winding and interesting road that’s made me the well-rounded design leader that I am today. I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way.

2021 - Present

Leading the UX practice for a global team.

Nowadays, I lead the UX practice for a team of 30+ UX designers across the globe, contributing to process, innovation, culture, and scaling. In addition to leadership and management duties, I also assist in leading the development of proprietary accelerator products that offer brands turnkey commerce solutions. An unabashed player-coach, I’ll still roll up my sleeves and work alongside the team, using strategy, design and technology to create incredible experiences that captivate audiences, convert browsers to buyers, and keep them coming back for more.

2019-2021

Managing a team, and a portfolio of client work

In my role as director, I managed and led a team of UX designers on projects that included eCommerce site redesigns, innovative product creation, and digital strategy engagements. COVID was no match for my team; our collaboration and drive increased as we leaned hard into cloud-based design tools, cranking out amazing experiences without missing a beat. I also continued to lead project work and represented the UX discipline for new business opportunities.

2014-2018

Client-facing UX Lead across multiple engagement

As a hands-on, client facing UX design lead, I created a wide variety of digital experiences and products for web and iOS. I participated in all stages of the project lifecycle, leading discovery workshops, presenting designs, and collaborating with developers. I also led multiple user testing initiatives, using interactive prototypes to gather feedback from real customers, and used that data to make informed, impactful design decisions.
