I’m a remote-first, multi-disciplinary designer, design director, manager, (and a bunch of other titles) that focuses on the intersection of brand and design systems.

My bread n’ butter is tackling a bunch o’ projects, collaborating with cross-functional folks, whilst drivin’ the creative vision from concept through completion.

Principles

Collaboration

Good ideas get better after a few conversations

Preparation

I lose sleep if I don’t have a plan

Flexibility

Expecting the unexpected should be expected

Iteration

Sometimes the first idea really is the best, but not usually

Craft

Perfect might be the enemy of the good, but good enough rarely is

Quality

If it isn’t excellent, why the hell are we doing it?
