About Me
I have been perfecting the art of design to transform companies from startups to the world’s biggest brands for 18 years. As an experienced visual design leader I collaborate with brilliant people to create, optimize and maintain beautiful and performant design systems, templates and assets. I have hired, managed and partnered with brilliant designers, developers, contractors and vendors from around the world.
I have lived and worked in Los Angeles, Silicon Valley and now call Austin, TX home. When not designing I love to be out in nature hiking, mountain biking and camping. I am also an artist, musician and technology nerd.
