I’VE WORKED WITH THESE FINE BRANDS

about me

i lead teams of all sizes

I've spent 20 years crafting experiences that achieve business goals for large-scale consumer products. I'm a collaborative design leader and love to build high-quality teams. When I have something to say, I speak at conferences and panels. I've led design teams at BlackRock, AOL, the Walt Disney Internet Group, Hightail, and TechTV. And way before all that I studied film, which is why I often talk in film metaphors and love disaster movies.

Let’s talk.
