THATS MY PROCESS
Global design leader with over 15 years of design and strategy experience. In roles across Asia and the US, I’ve functioned as a head of design, product designer, strategist, creative director, entrepreneur, and advisor. I am a hybrid of entrepreneurial and corporate, as I have led tech startups from multiple rounds of funding to acquisition three times. I love the process of inventing, defining, designing, and delivering new products and solutions. Tackling tough problems, helping organizations understand their products and brands from the user perspective, and getting to spend my days unleashing the potential in teams of talented and innovative people is what I live for. Having designed award-winning and globally recognized digital experiences and mobile apps for brands such as Target, Disney, Adidas, Cheerios, Bently Motors, and others, I bring broad and deep knowledge of User Experience Design, Design Strategy, and Marketing.
In addition to my experience, I have completed MA studies at Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) and a founding member of the Portland Tech Diversity Pledge.
