ABOUT ME

I've spent my career establishing and building UX process and culture within large, complex organizations. Partnering across functional boundaries, my teams have established credibility by revealing deep customer insights, introducing innovative concepts and solutions, and consistently delivering high-quality solutions that real people use.

I employ design methods to address real business challenges; be it business strategy, change management, or cultural development. Focusing on the strengths of individuals, my teams grow to challenge each other with a shared purpose. I foster a collective culture of passion, dedication, self-awareness, candor and humor.
