An orchestra. A football team. A construction crew. A design group.

They all have the same thing in common. Success is never attained through one person’s singular effort. Finding greatness in design will always require a team of individuals committed to doing their best work, together.

My role as a Design leader exists at the hub of vastly diverse teams like marketing, R&D, graphics, UX, craftsmanship, CMF, fashion, testing and research. All with different insights working towards the same goal. I work at the intersection of it all to inspire collaboration, facilitate communication, and visualize strategies for success. And if I do my job well these groups work seamlessly to create world class products that elevate consumer emotion, validate a purchase, and ultimately define the success of a brand.

As these synergies are happening outside of my core team, I still find purpose in coaching and mentoring a diverse team of Industrial Designers. From associates to principals, I elevate aspects of Talent, Process, and Character, all with the goal of team growth and career development.
