Hello!
I’m a product design & build leader, currently at West Monroe.

With nearly three decades of experience in the industry, I lead talented teams of software makers in designing, building, and shipping valuable products, efficiently. My approach — a unique blend of creativity and collaboration — transforms product organizations into industry leaders.

After studying architecture at UC Berkeley, I worked as a drafter at an architecture firm. My career evolved from designing buildings to designing video games, then on to designing and building web platforms at IDG, before I co-founded the consulting firm Fire Engine Red in 1997. A common thread throughout has been working at the intersection of design and engineering: where desirability and feasibility meet.

Before my current role at West Monroe, I was a Partner and VP of Design at Carbon Five, where I helped build and lead a dynamic team of almost 100 software engineers, designers, and product folks. Among my many roles included founding our design discipline, engaging new clients, and nurturing our firm’s marketing function. As a trusted advisor, I built lasting friendships with clients, co-workers, and the community, while we built and shipped innovative web and mobile products.

Outside work hours, I enjoy spending time with my family and playing Dungeons & Dragons, blending creative storytelling with collaborative play. I’m always open to connecting with people—recent graduates, career transitioners, and seasoned professionals alike—to explore new ideas at the intersection of design and engineering.
