I'm a product design leader with nearly 20 years of experience turning ambiguity into impact. From launching Fossil's first smartwatch to redesigning theme park experiences, I've tackled it all—with sleeves rolled up and curiosity in overdrive.
My superpower? Being your proxy, by design. I don’t just advocate for users—I obsess over the gnarly business problems, too. I bring deep interaction design chops, a systems mindset, and a bias toward outcomes you can actually measure.
Raised by a puppeteer and forged in the chaos of circus tents and drumlines, rhythm and reinvention are second nature. My design journey kicked off when a Threadless tee I created got printed in college (which also weirdly made me a world-renowned poet). I’ve been hooked on making an impact through design ever since.
I’ve led major redesigns at Fortune 500s like Citi and Sprint, and helped high-growth teams like Worldwide Express and Fetch scale smartly from 0→1. I love mentoring, and I build cultures where designers don’t just ship—they grow, experiment, and surprise themselves.
If the problem’s messy and the path unclear, I’m already interested.
