Featured Work
I've designed products in real estate, pet care, digital collecting, government, and digital marketing.
Mars
I helped design a five year a growth plan, built the first version of multiple new companies and assembled a couple of design teams to figure out the future of pet care. My work at Mars led to large revenue increases, new digital products all around the world and most importantly healthier pets and happier pet parents.
ROLE
Director of Product Design
Keller Williams
I led the design vision and strategy for the consumer business unit. Directing 10 designers and researchers. Our work led to 371 million home searches and over 7 million leads generated. Cementing KW as the biggest and best brokerage to work with.
ROLE
Manager of Product Design
Yext
A tech company focused on helping large orgs like Samsung, Domino’s and Hilton track their listings, manage their reviews and drive customer engagement. My job was to work on both the forest and the trees - designing specific pages and features while also keeping my team focused on the bigger picture. We overhauled the UX, created a new design and component system and built new features that demonstrated a strong ROI on our product.

My Values
Pride Over Every Pixel
You're not just responsible for your own designs, but also the designs of your coworkers. A living breathing product represents us all - so please share your thoughts on all parts of the product.
Explore, Experiment, and Learn
Designers exist to bring clarity to ambiguous spaces. It's a hard job for thoughtful people so I strive to make a space and environment that are conducive to that kind of work.
Empower and Trust Designers
If you do a good job setting the vision, the designers will do a good job rallying around it.
Get to the point and Solve the Problem
I like my designs, design presentations and meetings to be as concise and direct as possible. Prioritizing and focus are critical.
About
I'm a highly collaborative product designer and leader with 10 years experience launching new products and redesigns on ios, android, and web. Over the years I've worked to cultivate a toolbox of research techniques, designer led workshops and digital product knowledge to build easy to use products that have personality and lead to impactful outcomes.
