> Design leader fostering the culture and products to change the way that enterprises work

Location: San Mateo, California, United States

User experience isn't about the function of an individual or a team, it's about generating a culture that's engaged and passionate about bringing meaningful experiences to the products that enable its users.  

I enjoy innovating on both products and the underlying culture of those who share the desire to create things that empower, educate and inspire.
