Experience & Resume

Over my 15+ years as a designer, I’ve worked with organizations of all sizes, from early-stage startups and small businesses to global brands like Google, Nike, and KitchenAid. While the past eight years have been dedicated to product design, my earlier work has given me a uniquely holistic understanding of design strategy and a refined approach to craft. This breadth of experience has shaped how I see design: not as a discipline limited by medium, but as a way of solving meaningful problems with clarity, empathy, and impact…for everyday people and the businesses that serve them.
