With a 16-year career in interactive design, including 7 years in people leadership, I'm passionate about building multicultural teams, empowering designers to achieve greater success, and driving impact with innovative, personalized, end-to-end customer experiences.
My leadership style centers on transformational servant leadership. I leverage the power of data, strategy, and empathy to build multicultural, high-performing, cross-functional teams of managers and ICs. These teams deliver innovative, personalized, end-to-end customer experiences that have doubled the value of the company.
As a master of mediums, with my academic background in art and extensive career, I utilize my expertise in interaction, user experience, visual, content, and brand design to execute best-in-class global experiences across platforms and channels that transcend industries.
