I'm a product designer with 18 years of experience and 5 years leading teams. I design products that people use and rely on every day. Building and growing strong design teams is just as important to me as the craft itself. I'm drawn to fast-moving environments where the problems aren't fully defined and the work actually matters. I've always loved art and design. For me it was never a question what I wanted to do with my life.
I hold high standards and sweat the details, but more importantly, I try to lead by example. I raise the bar for my team and work alongside them to reach it.
Great design is everywhere, in the apps we use, the products we buy, and the experiences we remember. That sets a higher standard for all of us, and great design is how you meet it.
Design, product, engineering, and many other functions contribute. What matters most is that we are moving in the same direction.
