_Bio

Drawing from a diverse design background, I help teams manage the tension between efficiency and creativity, and pinpoint business value to focus energy on what matters most.

Since 2006, I have developed creative strategies for startups, scaling companies, mid-size corporations, non-profit organizations, and Fortune 100s. Companies rely on my keen insights, strategic questions, and confident directives to define and refine their brand strategy and product design.
