Curious from the Beginning

I'm passionate about discovering and learning new things.  This curiousity led me to design across diverse industries, including mobile device, medical device, consumer device, industrial equipment, financial service, e-commerce and software as a service. It's made me industry agnostic, driven instead by hard problems and working with and building teams focused on transforming users’ lives through great design. My breadth and depth of knowledge and skills has enabled me to:

• Envision and maintain the holistic view of the end-to-end experience while collaborating on detail-oriented challenges; 
• Bring a unique, forward-thinking perspective - reflecting on insight gained across several domains and applying it to analogous scenarios; 
• Connect dots and ask key questions that likely would not have been connected or asked otherwise; 
• Tell compelling stories motivating others toward common goals; and 
• Guide teams in quickly identifying and iterating on an extended set of possible solutions.​

My First Design

I loved LEGOs® as a kid (and still do!). The first thing I designed was my parents' mailbox after kids in the neighborhood knocked down the old one. My dad and I sat down with a pile of LEGOs® and came up with a model for a brick mailbox that matched the angular roofline of our house. As snail-mail turned into email, text messages and tweets, I moved on from mailboxes to interactive products and digital experiences.
