Originally from Chicago, IL, I studied at the Institute of Design and began my career at Worrell Design and then Fitch Inc. After moving to San Francisco, I spent nearly two decades at Astro Studios, where I rose to creative director and later executive creative director, crafting a leadership and mentoring role across product, brand and experience teams. I successfully built and directed a multidisciplinary studio, focusing on forward-looking concepts and products that approach solutions from a deeply human-centered perspective. 

Today, I am an executive creative director at PA Consulting, where I draw on over 30 years of experience creating innovative solutions for global brands including Microsoft, Nike, HP, Disney, Samsung, Nissan, and Sony. I am responsible for setting and owning the creative design vision across multiple global locations.

Beyond my leadership roles in consulting and industrial design, I am a passionate illustrator and creator who thrives on exploring retro-futurism, mecha and anime-inspired worlds. My distinctive concepts reflect both a love of storytelling and an optimistic vision of the future. Driven by an keen interest in emerging technologies, I am always looking ahead, while grounded to the present by an acute awareness of user needs and experiences.
