Hi!

I’m a San Francisco–based designer who thrives on collaborating with great teams. Raised on a farm, guided by that early rural ingenuity, I’ve been tinkering and making — from tree forts to go-karts — since I was old enough to hold a hammer.

With 20+ years of experience, I’m a hands-on design leader who excels at bringing cross-functional teams together to solve complex problems. I believe in leading by example to set a team's culture and work ethic. My latest milestone is executing the full redesign of Bose’s Home Audio category. By managing multiple projects in parallel, to set the design direction, ensure strict visual consistency, a unified user experience, and premium craftsmanship across the entire lineup. The recent launch of the new Lifestyle Collection has been received with high customer and industry praise.

Working as a category design lead I shape front-end strategy and product roadmaps, balancing customer insights with business needs. To revitalize Bose’s portable Bluetooth line around the single word 'FUN,' I worked with marketing and sales teams to craft a vibe-centric story that engaged new customers and enabled future flexibility through color, material, finish. Executing on a refreshed line of product for Bose’s highest grossing speaker segment.

I am experienced in directing external partners to drive complex design visions. Partnering closely with Aruliden, Astro Studios, Bressler Group, MNML Studio, and Mixer with award winning results.

I would love to help your team by driving culture, pushing boundaries, and delivering amazing products.
