Check Out My Résumé.

I’m a digital design, strategy, product, and marketing director in San Francisco with over 10 years of experience. I’m interested in connecting, learning, and applying my expertise to awesome projects. I love working with teams and meeting new people. Have a great time learning more about me and I look forward to hearing from you.

A self-starter, I’m always ready to work, love what I do, and am motivated to do more. I’m eager to work with teams, share knowledge, and combine our skills to produce excellent work. I care greatly about communication, organization, positive leadership, humility, listening, and learning.

I start projects by building relationships with the team and learning as much as I can about the users in which we intend to engage. This allows me, and my team, to perform at our best and make accurate decisions.
