Ship. Learn.
Lead.
20+ years turning intuition into impact. I’ve learned that scrappiness drives progress, resilience keeps teams moving, and bold vision turns messy ideas into real impact.
How I turn sparks
into scale
Spark
I pull inspiration from patterns, trends, AI tools, and other industries to spark fresh ideas and new directions.
Shape
I guide with clarity building frameworks, aligning teams, and shaping designs that scale with purpose and focus.
Elevate
I push for high craft and storytelling. Perfecting pixels, tightening handoffs, and bringing the idea to life.
Big ideas. Scrappy starts.
My background is in advertising design, where I learned what actually sells. A mix of creativity and commerce shaped my career across agencies, consultancies, and incubators, including 7 years at PayPal scaling design at a global level. As a true player/coach: I enjoy filling gaps, inspiring teams, and digging into research to uncover the human barriers that hold users back.
I build teams that trust each other, cross-train, and push for smarter collaboration. I lean into what design does best, facilitate ideas, craft experiences, and move businesses forward. And at the highest level, I create vision narratives that help leadership see where we’re going so they give us time to get there.
