A little about me.
I'm a Bay Area native now based out of Brooklyn, NY. In addition to my passion for experience design, I love staying active and connected with friends and family. When not working on projects, you can find me running through the park, supporting my local food coop, or discovering new and exciting places in the city.
Leadership Expertise
As a design leader, I have a proven track record in leading and managing teams to success. I have channeled my focus into shaping design teams and aligning design to work seamlessly with other departments. Some of my abilities include reshaping project team structures and nurturing them into a highly efficient and productive unit. These efforts have resulted in multiple project extensions, team expansions, and acquiring new work.
I have also been instrumental in marshaling our team through company restructure by identifying role gaps in the team structure and defining hiring opportunities while simultaneously elevating our current team to meet the demands of the business. I have also played a very active role in growing the business, including shaping, pitching, and creative storytelling to secure new projects and grow our capabilities, even in the face of an economic downturn.
Perhaps my proudest accomplishments have been centered around helping junior talent grow and succeed. I've created structures such as office hours and shadowing opportunities to give junior designers experience and exposure, often resulting in chargeable work, project extensions and promotions. I stay focused on elevating the quality of creative by overseeing team's work, helping them grow, and providing opportunities for them to present their work and share their stories.
