I’m a versatile, results-oriented design leader for startup and emerging technology brands, with consistent positive impact on brand awareness, demand generation, user experience (UX), product launch, and revenue growth. A few highlights include:• In-house and agency experience across B2B and B2C brands, with expert insights into best-practice design and UX strategies, and an ability to drive creative vision through project execution.• Strong and committed team leadership. I have recruited, managed, and developed creative talent, tapping each person’s motivations and engaging their highest performance. I also love serving as a player-coach, rolling up my sleeves and leading by example to get critical projects done.• Earlier in my career, I built my own software product, and I know what it takes to get from 0 to 1. I’m business-driven with a focus on shipping on-time and on-budget. I’m able to connect the business case to the creative work.• I’m known as a connector—innately inclined toward collaboration and alignment with all key stakeholders to meet business and customer priorities—and set up the sales team for success.• I’ve got some unique experiences for a designer, including service in the military as a young officer out of college, as well as years of service on the board of a national nonprofit.
