How I got here

With two decades of experience under my belt, I have made a name for myself by disrupting the business world with innovative design using the latest technologies. I have helped shape teams, product vision, and worked to elevate the design of products to new heights. As a skilled instructor, mentor and manager of talented designers, I dedicate myself to fostering an environment where innovation can thrive.

 

I get my energy from creating new, innovative products that not only look and function beautifully, but also have an meaningful impact on the world.
