About

I'm a Designer with experience working across the full design process. I have shipped thoughtful experiences with a focus on scope, speed and quality. I consider myself lucky to have been a founding designer in a start-up helping them scale design to an exit.

I am now working as a Design Manager leading my design team through an innovation push to provide restoration contractors with new focused tools and workflows.

Values

My leadership style is people first. People are the foundation of great teams, culture & experiences.

Design involves more than the design team. Stakeholders welcome!

I cultivate a team environment of trust and accountability by sharing early and often.

I provide timely feedback using the "Do, Try, Consider"  method during design reviews.

I make sure design, product, and engineering work well together.

I help align projects to quarterly and yearly planning goals and roadmaps.

I help designers prioritize competing priorities from multiple stakeholders across multiple projects.

I make myself a part of designers career aspirations.

I care about craft, scope, speed & quality.
