Hello! I have been a creative lead for over 25 years, working with small and large brands such as Netflix, Roku, Spyder, San Jose Earthquakes, YETI, Cornell University, Kings Camo, Crosman, JM Smuckers, and more. I have a wide-range of experience in creative leadership, product design, brand strategy, UI, and UX.
For over 15 years, I ran a successful design agency in San Francisco. From mid 2014 until early 2017, I founded and ran the creative/development department in a rapidly growing San Francisco digital marketing agency, and Platinum Salesforce partner, Pierry, Inc. I partnered with the exceptional branding agency Soldier Design where I worked on branding projects for POC, Earth Brand Shoes, and more. In 2018 and 2019, I worked with entertainment and tech force Netflix on a suite of digital products as Director of Product Design at DockYard.
Leading creative teams is my specialty: brand, design, and UX. If you are curious about my leadership style, please read my blog post about leading a distributed team of designers – DockYard Without Borders: Leading a Distributed Creative Team.
