I’m super annoyed by bad experiences.

So I channel that energy into building better things. And the teams and practices that make them possible.

The work

I build the systems and culture that make great experiences possible.

I’ve built design organizations from scratch, shaped product strategy through vision work, and made research and discovery part of how companies actually decide.

Today I’m lead designer at Canonical, driving cross-portfolio coherence for Ubuntu Pro. My path here (through Prezi, Emarsys, Trustpilot, and Krisp) is in my Journey.

Beyond work

Outside work, I chase the whimsy of details that create emergent ideas.

Work with me

I mentor designers and advise teams occasionally on design practice, discovery, and growing people.
