About Me
I am a lifelong learner. I am naturally curious.
I am a strategist, designer, teacher, and connector. I look for patterns and make connections between people, ideas, problems, insights, opportunities, and solutions.
I make global services simple and easy. I’m inspired by balance, and the interplay between strategy and tactics, aesthetic and structure, emotion and logic, leadership and management, and design craft and business goals. I believe in people, leading through human empowerment, advocating for others’ personal growth, and building up people, processes, and businesses.
Outside of work, I have a continuous creative flow. I am an artist↗︎. I’ve experimented with letterpress, photography, digital illustration, fine art painting, fire art graphic design, poster design, pattern design, architectural design, interior design, poetry, drawing, bookbinding, silkscreening, icon design, information and schematic design, and more. I express my interest in maximalism by pursuing minimalism in all things—I believe less is more.
I enjoy travel, the outdoors, fitness, yoga, food, film, disconnecting from devices, and authentic connection with friends and my children.
And I love meeting new people. Let’s connect:

Who I’ve Worked With
I partner with product development teams and lead strategy and design of essential digital product-services... on any platform or screen size. The first 12 years of my career was building brand systems. Since 2007 I have solely focused on product-service design.
