I'm a Lead Product Designer with 13+ years of experience ranging from Apple Maps and the Play Store to early-stage start-ups, VMware, Space Force, and CDCR. A unique part of my career is that I have had the opportunity to work with several cutting edge technologies that had little to no design precedent, or guidelines at the time. These include; ML/AI, VR, AR, AUTO, 3D mapping, satellite and medical imaging, voice analytics, low‑connectivity navigation, wearables, and of course mobile/desktop web and native apps.

For five years, I have taught the thesis class for the Master's in UX Design program at MICA and absolutely love it. I also used to coach high school water polo, teach people to swim, and have spent over 3 years of my life in water.

‍

I have led well over a dozen 0→1 products for both startups and enterprise organizations and was a partner at a mobile start-up and an acquired software agency. UX ROI, strategy, budgets, business goals, clear communication & prioritization have been a critical part of my UX journey. I have regularly worn a Product Manager hat & deeply appreciate collaboration and alignment with other team members, stakeholders, and leadership.

My CDCR project "Automated Restricted Housing Record" received the California Government Innovation Summit award in 2024.
