I am a design leader with a diverse tool kit and a long-held passion for bringing people together.
I offer two decades of startup, creative, and technical consulting experience along with a pragmatic, sleeves up approach. My goal is to drive meaningful, sustainable, and whole spectrum outcomes for thoughtful companies who truly want to do something better for the people they serve.
Partner material.
I build high performing team-based businesses and drive the craft of world class products and services.
This hands-on approach keeps me connected to the practical realities (and possibilities) of customer, team, process and technology and instills a culture of doing in every role that I've held.
