20-years in Design + a world-class MBA

I discovered design early and never looked back. I started a freelance agency in high-school. Working for nearly 100 clients worldwide in a few short years enabled me to graduate from university debt-free.

I’ve since worked at seed, series A/B/C/D, pre-IPO and public companies, and designed in design-led, product-led, engineering-led, and sales-led environments.

I’ve always seen Design as a tool to impact businesses. To become a well-rounded leader, I earned an MBA from U.C. Berkeley's Haas School of Business, which consistently ranks among the top MBA programs in the world.

My diverse experience and expertise gives me a unique perspective and approach to design, leadership, and coaching.
