Believer in user-centered design and the power of strategic design to achieve business goals.

Hands-on designer, strategist, researcher, facilitator, lead, manager and director. Communicates natively in the languages of design, technical development or business, dependent on the audience.
At ease mentoring members of the team and strategizing at the executive level.
