I’ve worked from the top of smoking volcanoes and while sliding down glaciers. From densely packed mega-cities around the world to remote island nations, I’ve pushed myself to find new, creative ways to solve problems, and use art and design to improve people’s lives.

As a UX leader with 25 years of design experience and 10+ years managing and growing teams, I have an industry proven track record of creating highly successful products across a wide range of areas from mobile and desktop apps, to TV, gaming, advertising, and automotive.

Every day I draw from this diverse background to overcome the next challenge. In the past those included leading photoshoots in Italy to redefine the travel experience, helping indie VR game developers in Los Angeles to monetize their creations, and teaching the next generation of designers in Japan.

Now, I lead design teams at Google, mixing emerging technologies and cutting edge research to craft the next generation of amazing products. My teams have built products that save lives by making driving safer, and help people accomplish more no matter where they are.

With 25 years of design experience, my path has been non-linear, but never boring. I can’t wait to see what the next challenge will be.
