What you won’t learn from my bio
I’ve always had a deep love of learning. I’ve pursued many disciplines from social psychology to computer science, animation, business strategy, and much more. I’m delighted that I don’t have to choose between all my interests, but can actually take advantage of each of them to solve complex client challenges. They help inform different lenses to see the world and help fuel new ways of thinking.
My portfolio of work is focused on transformation strategy for platform businesses by growing capabilities, developing product strategy, cultivating change, and pushing the edges of media and technology. I have cultivated key relationships and nurtured business partnerships to develop a multimillion dollar, industry-facing consulting portfolio and have designed products, strategy, and experiences that have become category leaders.
I am passionate about developing practices and capabilities that uniquely bridge design strategy and developing new products and services while accelerating transformation to create future-fit organizations.
I bring expertise from previous careers in architectural design and luxury hospitality operations. I hold a Master of Architecture degree from California College of the Arts. In addition to my design and leadership practice, I have taught courses in interaction design, architecture, film, and creative leadership, and have guest lectured at the University of California at Berkeley, California college of the Arts the d.school at Stanford, and The School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
