About Me
I’m a designer, manager, educator, and community driver with over two decades of experience. Having worked for clients such as Dash Financial, Schlumberger, and Thompson Reuters, I am skilled in ideating and designing products that drive success for both the business and the user. With every project, I’m getting in with my total commitment, expertise, and creativity.
Hiring, assessing, and managing designers, launching multiple initiatives, and driving the community gave me enough confidence to be a great fit for your company.
