about me
I have 15+ years of experience working on digital products both in-house and as a consultant. I’ve worked with/for several companies, large and small. In 2017 I joined Bestow to lead product and design through the build and launch of our MVP product to 49 States and Washington, D.C. Eventually, I moved to focus on product design and have built a team with a strong culture of data & research-informed problem-solving for scale. Of note are the organization of a design system team to support our design system (Kindred) and championing efforts to bring research and user testing to the product planning process.
Prior to Bestow, I was at Dialexa, where as Design Director, I was privileged to work with a number of start-ups, enterprises, and government clients. In that time I was also part of the launch teams for Vinli and Robin Autopilot. Prior to Dialexa I've had the pleasure of working with/for companies such as NBC-Universal, GameStop, and Microsoft. I’ve won numerous awards and my work has been featured in TechCrunch, Forbes, and CNET.
As a leader, I like to say that I optimize for trust and believe in empowering my teams to make decisions not micro-manage them. I drive to cultivate effective, well-rounded “solutioneers” who think both in macro and micro and aren’t satisfied with “they way its always been done.”
