About Me
Through the years I have collaborated with many talented people to develop meaningful work and inspire user engagement. I’ve also had the pleasure of working for incredible companies like Facebook, Warby Parker, AKQA, R/GA, Ogilvy, Sapient-Razorfish and many others.
I’m passionate about critical thinking and design in an ever-changing industry. I know I want to step in as a catalyst for impactful change and advancement; marrying creativity and high-speed technology with a slower, more reflective process. My technical background, my work as a designer, my academic studies, and my experiences across industries all contribute to helping me find smart, creative ways to communicate the value of great design.
