About

storytelling + industry

With three decades of experience in advertising, product design, and designing responsible AI-enabled products, I have formed a perspective on how design continues to evolve and where it may be headed.

Design today is about telling stories that inspire people to do amazing things they never thought were possible.

I’ve had the good fortunate to work with some incredible companies, talented people and sophisticated technologies during my career, all of which have helped me grow and find my voice, and my purpose.

I consistently strive for excellence, seek out & nurture talent at every level, have a strong opinion, remain open to new ways of thinking, learn from failure, celebrate people, and always deliver value.

My purpose - scale the positive impact design can have on society.

Community

I’ve been mentoring people at all levels of their careers for the better part of two decades.

I recently joined ADPlist, a platform designed to help mentees & mentors connect and schedule sessions more easily. I’ve found the experience to be thoroughly uplifting, and I relish the calls now. I love helping people advance in their careers, improve their portfolios, make the leap from agency to tech, or simply figure out how to navigate their next move.

ADPList.org’s mission: Give every person the freedom to grow together.

The Integrity Institutes’ mission: To advance the theory and practice of protecting the social internet, powered by our community of integrity professionals.

Integrity experts understand the systemic causes of problems on the social internet and how to mitigate them. They have seen (and built!) successful and unsuccessful solutions. The Integrity Institutes’ goal is to bring this experience and expertise directly to the people theorizing, building, and governing the social internet. Members help support the community and advise members, clients, and government workers on the critical challenges society needs to overcome regarding using AI at scale.
