Transforming organizations with
human-centered innovation and
design – that's been my mission.

Driven by a deep belief in the power of creativity to improve lives and influence a more positive future, my work as an innovation and design strategist leverages the intersection of function, form, and forward-thinking to tackle complex problems and spark change. I seek to generate value, not just in numbers but in conversations and visions of what the future can be. I excel in leading and guiding stakeholders and teams to leverage emerging opportunities, enhance customer and user experiences, make processes smoother and more efficient, and effectively bring products to market.

My approach goes beyond conventional boundaries by adopting a holistic view of the future to uncover hidden opportunities and propel innovation. Known for my skill in asking the right questions, listening deeply, and quickly making connections, I facilitate collaborations that transform complex challenges into compelling narratives and actionable strategies This ability has allowed me to collaborate with companies like Autodesk, Ford, Keybank, Nike, and VF, among others.

As an educator, I've imparted knowledge and fostered creativity at esteemed institutions such as ArtCenter College of Design, UCLA, and USC, to name a few.
