What I do
I am a systems thinker who loves to visualize complexity in simple ways. I am experienced with design leadership for native mobile apps, TV experiences, and responsive websites. My superpower is a combination of product definition, information architecture, design strategy, and leadership.

Experience
Associate Creative Director, Comcast
I lead a team of designers who design, execute, and scale a new strategy and navigation system for the Xfinity App. The app is a central channel of the Xfinity ecosystem. It provides a way to get the most value out of the services you subscribe. Our designs are easy to use, helpful, and personalized. They allow you to complete vital tasks, discover new ways to interact with existing services, and grow your relationship with Xfinity.
