My work drives business success, landing contracts and keeping customers happy with intuitive, scalable products. I thrive in dynamic, fast-paced environments, leading cross-functional teams through the complexities of product development and transforming ambiguity into clear, actionable design strategies.When I’m not at my desk, I’m on a stage practicing my communication in front of audiences — as a speaker at local tech events, or performing live comedy.Ask me about speaking at your next design event!(Or to tell you a joke.)
