Professional Experience

With over 25 years' experience building high performance product design teams, I am a hands-on leader who knows how to maximize design’s value delivery to drive differentiation and increase the bottom line. I have successfully used design to shift the strategic direction of global enterprises, deliver increased market share, improve customer satisfaction, and create competitive advantages.

I spend the first 20 years of my career in Silicon Valley having held executive leadership positions in both consumer (Apple, Shutterfly, WebMD...) and enterprise companies (SAP, Cisco...). In 2015 I relocated to the Pacific Northwest to lead the design practice at an innovation studio funded by the Bill Gates. Most recently I founded Zeitworks, a start-up focused on business process analytics. And I have worked with a number of companies to scale their design organizations. Let me help you build a world class design organization within your company.
