I’m a hands-on leader of people & projects

I create, coach, lead, & use design as a tool to engineer interactions that drive outcomes.

Design & leadership

I’m a designer and team leader with a highly collaborative, pragmatic approach to design. I operate across all stages of a project – from vision, through to design strategy and execution.

What I love about design

I'm passionate about understanding human behavior and decision making, bringing structure to chaos, and designing systems and modes of interaction in the physical and digital world. These passions manifests in my work and leadership in several forms.

Engineering interactions

Engineering collaborative moments and environments where ideas can be generated, shared, and discussed.

Making design understandable

Making design understandable and actionable to others via collaboration, storytelling, and visualization.

Empowering decision-making

Planning, implementing, and facilitating design and product decision making within teams and organizations.

Challenging assumptions

Uncovering patterns & insights in research, and utilizing hypothesis-driven ideation to provoke new thinking.

Running, racing & climbing

Over the past five years, I’ve found my passion in ultra running, long-distance hiking, and climbing - fueling my love for the outdoors and growing my mental endurance.
