Over 20 years of experience designing and building web and mobile applications that solve real problems for humans. Design leader, researcher and systems thinker. I build and develop design teams of high-maturity strategic product designers, researchers and systems thinkers and design leaders and design and design systems that are beautiful, accessible, measurable, traceable, Cross functional, and grounded in real customer insights and diverse perspectives. I believe the best teams are those imbued with co-created customer insights, strong vision and longterm roadmap passion and purpose, clear channels of communication, measurable iterations. And yes. We make it beautiful. Visual craft is table stakes folks. Skipping the right beautiful thing...that's the art. I love educating and enhancing the impact, roles and careers of passionate UX craftspeople. Design fundamentals. Safer spaces for design system designers and engineers to grow, socialize their work and learn together. Mentorship. Guidance. Encouragement. I have a personal passion for helping people from diverse backgrounds transition into tech, which I pursue as an adjunct instructor at the School of Visual Concepts and a volunteer program developer and portfolio coach.
