Over the past 9 years, I've been leading design teams at Google across Shopping, Image Search and Google Home. As a UX Manager, my focus is to develop the careers of my team and champion the discipline of design within product experiences and across the company. I strive to up-level creative expression and craft, work collaboratively to establish valuation for design among stakeholders and build teams to deliver world class design at scale.

Just before Google, I worked at OpenTable, helping create a more emotional brand that connects diners and chefs. At Airbnb, I led a team of visual designers and storytellers from the launch of the Airbnb rebrand to the signature issue of Pineapple Magazine. Earlier in my career I was Design Manager for Inkling, developing responsive, interactive and scalable design for consumer and enterprise education content. Prior to Inkling, I was Art Director for Dwell Magazine and worked freelance at IDEO, Frog, Landor and Punchcut. In 2004, I co-founded a furniture design and homegoods company called Semigood Design which still runs today. For four years I taught Graphic Design and Grid Systems at the Academy of Art Graduate program… and would love to return to teaching some day soon.

When not working, I'm on the slopes, trails, or ice hockey rink.
