I build brands, products, and teams. I drive business results by cultivating strong cross-organizational relationships, empowering designers to reach their potential, and implementing processes that deliver outstanding outcomes. As the Senior UX Research + Design Lead at O3, I partner with enterprise organizations to lead the creation of cohesive customer experiences through human-centered design and strategic user research. My approach combines deep UX expertise with strategic product and marketing insight to solve complex challenges across digital and physical touchpoints.

Throughout my career, I've built and scaled in-house product design teams for global firms, transforming how organizations approach design and digital innovation. I've reduced agency costs from $6M to under $900K annually while expanding UX capabilities and launching new digital products. I've led comprehensive brand transformations, pioneered user-centered product strategies, and established frameworks that elevate both team performance and business results.

As an educator and mentor, I'm committed to shaping the next generation of design leaders. I serve as an adjunct professor and faculty council member at ArtCenter College of Design, where I bring real-world product design experience into the classroom to prepare students for the evolving demands of our industry.

My work is driven by the belief that thoughtful, distinctive design and robust user research are essential to business success. Whether I'm leading strategic initiatives, mentoring teams, or teaching students, I am passionate about building strong cross-organizational relationships and implementing processes that consistently deliver outstanding outcomes. I thrive on connecting business strategy + user needs to create innovative, impactful, and delightful experiences that resonate with audiences and achieve measurable results.
