Creative Product Designer
for Emerging Platforms

I'm a hands-on director with years of experience at Meta. I thrive at the intersection of product, brand, and team building, drawing on my diverse background to navigate complexity and drive change.

 

Attributes

Adaptable

The things I work on change at an intense rate. That’s why being adaptable, while navigating ambiguity and uncertainty, is my most important attribute.

Strategic



Whenever in doubt on a decision or direction I rely on the basic (who, what, where, why, when, how) questions for guidance. The job is balancing users, business, and tech but I find myself focusing on the “who?” and “why?” more and more these days.

Generative

Creativity is my default mode. I don't JUST critique or ask questions. I follow up with ideas and action to move things forward. Often by simplifying, organizing, and managing ideas visually.

Systematic

My brain’s wired for patterns, grids, and alignments. Mostly thanks to my 10 years working in physical architecture. As a director, my focus is now on orchestrating larger ecosystems.
