About

I am a leader in product and design with an award-winning background in UX. I have more than a decade of experience leading teams, and delivering work for Fortune 500 companies, creative agencies, and startups.

Currently, I serve as Prototyping Lead at Invisible Technologies, where I spearhead our Product Lab studio team responsible for delivering AI-driven product discovery, rapid prototyping, and 0 to 1 alpha product development for enterprise AI solutions.

Previously, I led SkillsEngine as Executive Director of Product and Design, co-founded BEACON, a data privacy startup, and held strategy and design leadership roles at 72andSunny, RED Interactive, and R/GA โ€” where I helped establish the first embedded creative consulting team at Google.
