About me
I am a craft-obsessed digital product design director, who puts customers at the heart of everything that I do. It is my aim to create experiences that are as seamless as they are delightful to use. I'm a creative problem solver above all else, an expert in design systems and interaction design. As a leader, I motivate my team to collaborate effectively, creating work that showcases top quality design craft. My experience has seen me work in agencies big and small – both in my native Chicago and here in London – winning several awards along the way. In 2018 I was named one of The Drum's '50 Under 30'.
