I have over 15 years of experience leading teams, designing interfaces, researching ideas, and shipping products. 

DESIGN LEADERSHIP

My passion is in mentoring and developing teams of designers to create amazing user experiences. I set clear objectives, manage project requirements and allocate resources accordingly across a variety of projects, hitting deadlines and ensuring my team is set up for success. I collaborate across disciplines with user research, product management, engineering, strategy, and marketing to provide a smooth product design process.

I have received awards from I.D. Magazine, Art Directors Club, the Type Director’s Club, AIGA—and in 2007 I was selected by Print Magazine as one of the year’s “New Visual Artists: 20 Talents Under 30.”  As an adjunct professor at Parsons School of Design from 2004 – 2014, I taught classes on visual design and design thinking.

In 2020 I graduated from the Type@Cooper Extended Program with a Postgraduate Certificate in Typeface Design through the Continuing Education Department of The Cooper Union.
