What I do:
HI-fidelity Prototypes
From the quick and dirty sketches to sophisticated prototypes these create team consensus each step of the way..
USER RESEARCH
Designers and developers are eager to do what they do best. That’s easy. What’s hard is deciding what to build.
MULTI-PLATFORM DESIGN
Designing for three to four screen size breakpoints ensures a product truly sings its responsive design melody.
Ultimately, I strive to harness design’s ability to affect behavior, push technology’s boundaries, and affect a business’ bottom line.
MY designs have engaged over a 100 million users and resulted in:
ABOUT
I have worked as a designer for Fortune 500 global brands for over 15 years. Working at the intersection of business, design, and technology, I have engaged millions of users with user-centric designs. My natural ability to form strong, collaborative partnerships with clients, stakeholders, and developers help deliver game-changing results.
From being on the team that created the #1 children’s app, at different times, at two different companies, to creating a top selling SaaS product that transforms the lives of professionals, I deliver design for measurable business results. Added to that, I bring innovation, enthusiasm, effective work flows, and astute attention to detail in UX practices, UI polish, and written/visual communication leading to world-class products..
I also hold two US patents for design innovation while at Disney.
Throughout my career, I have supported these brands:

A bit about me…
Side project for good doers
For a fun side project, I created Cocktails for Causes throwing an upscale fundraiser event series to raise funds for nonprofits. We have raised over $20,000 so far.
When not at work, I can be found DJ’ing funky house music on a rooftop on a sunny day with friends, cooking a mean omelette, or finding zen through yoga and meditation.
