It will work.

The focus of my studio work is not only to build beautiful digital experiences, but more importantly to validate that we’ll launch with momentum, find our people, and create culture through our work.

Through human-centered design methods,
we ensure that we’re solving the right problems.

We design, test, iterate and validate
that what we’re building will succeed in moving the needle.

The following projects are featured in my portfolio because they were robust engagements that required my role to be multidisciplinary. My responsibilities spanned business leadership, team management, product research, design, testing and strategic iteration.

As head of design for ShopRunner, I was responsible not only for partnering with the head of product to lead the development of this new consumer product, but also building the team and design practice for product and marketing in the organization.

Lifeclass | OWN

After seven years in my design studio, I went on hiatus to join the Oprah Winfrey Network as the product manager for Emmy-award winning Lifeclass. We developed innovative technology to simulcast the show online and integrate real-time social media on set as we filmed in our west loop studio. This was also where I met Brené Brown and began my work with creative coaching.

We went on to launch another startup.  Citizen Made was an ecommerce platform, at the heart of which was a product configurator. Built by makers for makers, we pushed the boundaries of mass customization.
