Experience Highlights

There are many awesome design leaders out there, each with our own unique qualities. For myself, I'd say that I specialize in building technical and product-focused platform and consumer-centric design teams with strong business IQ.  These full-stack design teams are able to craft stunning platform and consumer experiences, complex workflows, and enablement systems.
Picture
Highly Technical
I embrace highly technical environments, specifically navigating my teams through those environments.  Proven track record of creating successful commercial platforms.

Example​
  • LaunchDarkly, Product Design Lead, Core Platform
    • Designed the industry's first feature management SAAS tool from seed to commercial success.
    • Founding designer.
Picture
Success from Startups to Enterprise
From leading teams that scale existing experience to developing greenfield experiences, I enjoy navigating ambiguity at all altitudes of consumer and enterprise ecosystems.
 
Example​
  • Atlassian, Sr. Design Team Lead, Growth
    • Designed and globally released new onboarding, payment, and conversion flows for all products.
    • Launched Atlassian Free Plan for all products.
Picture
Excellence in High Growth Environments
I derive meaning from raising the bar for craft and team excellence.  I firmly believe the strong teams derive meaning from overcoming challenges by delivering best-in-class results. I am unafraid to hold each teammate accountable for being the best version of themself.

Example​
  • Isometry Labs, Design Team Manager, Platform
    • Built and led a team from the ground-up for a net new SAAS product, eventually funded and then acquired.
