ABOUT
I lead design organizations that turn complexity into clarity.
I’ve led global design initiatives for organizations including Grocery Outlet, TradeLens (IBM + Maersk), FourKites, American Express, and PCMag, creating unified design languages, accessibility standards, and measurable efficiencies across digital ecosystems.
My focus is on systematizing creativity: establishing design governance, embedding data into decision-making, and aligning Legal, Security, and Engineering around compliant, accessible experiences. Across these programs, I’ve guided multidisciplinary teams and embedded UX processes that reduce design debt, accelerate delivery, and strengthen cross-functional alignment.
Fifteen years in, I've had the privilege of working with some genuinely interesting companies, Grocery Outlet, TradeLens at Maersk and IBM, FourKites, American Express, and PCMag, each one a different kind of hard problem. Consumer apps. Global trade infrastructure. AI-powered logistics. Media brands that millions of people read every day.
What ties it all together is how I think about design leadership. Not as a service function that executes on what product decides, but as a strategic discipline that shapes what gets built and why. I build teams that ship with conviction, systems that hold together at scale, and cultures where design has a real seat at the table.
Outside of work I'm an artist working in digital and mixed media, exploring how structure and creativity intersect across canvas, print, and screen. I also co-host The One Love Art Sessions, a podcast celebrating art, culture, and process.
The craft matters. The outcomes matter more.
