I am a design leader with excellent strategic and procedural management skills. I seek to humanize technology as an advocate for the value of user experience design to create more useful and usable products that put people first. I have a proven ability to manage, motivate and influence broad groups of people, which allows me to drive successful outcomes across diverse business groups.
