Hello, I'm a designer who weaves precision and play into work each day.
scroll

I seek a Design Leadership position within an innovative, large-scale organization, where I can bring unique value and grow with other inspiring professionals—open to playing the role of an individual contributor, manager, or hybrid.

With 14+ years creating digital experiences and 10+ years leading high-performing, cross-functional teams, I maintain a growth mindset. I co-founded a profitable startup with initial funding from The NY Times. I've also led design teams of various sizes, most recently at Zola, the wedding company. View my resume.

My approach is instinctively empathetic, and I thrive when actively collaborating with other makers. I'm optimistic and versatile. I believe feedback is a gift and prefer doing fewer things better. I live and work in Oakland, using my hands and dreaming as possible.
