Design director & product designer behind some of the world's most-used products.
I lead design teams, and I design things. I've always been drawn to the full range, from org strategy to the details that make something feel just right. Twenty-plus years across Meta, eBay, Intel, and Nike — and now Instagram — plus products I've designed and shipped entirely on my own. The altitude may shift, but the investment in getting it right doesn't.
About
Design director & product designer behind some of the world's most-used products. 20+ years across Meta, eBay, Intel, and Nike — and now Instagram — plus my own projects. I've shipped wearables, marketplace platforms, privacy systems, AI transparency frameworks, accessibility programs, and a personal iOS app downloaded 40,000 times across 70 countries.
I thrive at the intersection of craft and strategy: leading high-performing design teams, driving alignment across complex orgs, and pushing for work that is both rigorously designed and genuinely useful. I'm equally comfortable running a design org and doing the work myself, and I think each makes the other better.
Lately, that means helping my design teams not just adapt to AI but lead with it. From integrating AI-driven workflows into our design process to shaping how Meta communicates its GenAI tools to billions of users, I'm focused on making sure design has a strong, informed voice in the AI conversation. And I'm building my own AI-powered apps on the side to make sure I never lose the thread of what it actually feels like to ship something.
Based in Portland, Oregon. Former New Yorker. I speak in pop culture references, I'm a terrible cook, and I once played electric guitar on tour with an aging rock band to pay for college.
