building systems, stories, and cars IN Los Angeles
Spare parts
My hairstyle was inspired by some of the greats; Elvis, James Dean, and Johnny Bravo. Pro tip, volume is created by blow drying not product.
I've flown out of a window of a vintage truck, rolled another into a tree, and somehow walked away without a scratch. 7 lives left!
I restore classic cars by hand, design things that (hopefully) make life a little better, and believe that humor and grit are necessary leadership tools.
A glimpse of MY work history
I love building strong creative teams and crafting systems that scale, whether that’s a design org or a complex product experience..
My background blends traditional art training with tech-forward UX strategy, which makes me equally comfortable leading product design, brand campaigns, or creative departments. I’m as hands-on as ever, just with more perspective now. After leading design at NBCUniversal (Peacock, Olympics, NBC Sports), I took a purposeful year away from the corporate world to reset, rebuild a few classic cars, and reconnect with being an artist and creative.
But stepping away never meant standing still. I went deeper into Figma and design systems, immersed myself in generative AI, advanced prompting, agentic workflows, and building AI agents, while exploring how these tools can meaningfully improve creative and product workflows.
Now I’m back in the mix, bringing creative leadership, systems thinking, hands-on craft, and a deep understanding of how design connects people, products, and brands. Let’s build something that lasts.
