Currently a Sr Design Strategist @ Amazon, and loving it.
I'm equal parts designer, strategist and visual communicator
What are the superpowers that set me apart from other strategic designers?
>Low fidelity design and prototyping skills (I'm a sketching ninja)
>Mastery of design thinking methods & facilitation for research and design.
I hold two degrees suitable from framing, including a Master’s of Design Methods from the Institute of Design in Chicago and a BFA in Industrial Design. I have taught courses in Design Thinking and Drawing at the undergraduate, graduate and corporate level. I have worked across consumer packaged goods, transportation, consumer finance, IoT, end-end cloud experiences, class one medical devices, and product incubators.
When I am not helping people design the next big thing, you can find me mountain biking at dawn in the East Bay hills, or spending quality time with the family, cats and chickens.
