2015 - 2020

Here’s what I’ve been up to lately.

 

Leadership & team building

Over the past five years, I’ve worked as a product leader and strategist, focused on building and leading great products and teams. Directing product at Ginger.io, leading experience design at Samsung R&D, and lately directing design for Livongo’s all-new mental health app.

Mastering product

Before leading and growing teams, I honed my craft making exceptional product experiences from the ground up. Combining engineering and design skillsets, my goal during this time was execution at premium levels. I co-founded a proper Silicon Valley Tech startup after years running a boutique iOS product shop.

 

2008 - 2015

That’s cool, but do you make stuff or just tell people what to make?

1999 - 2008

I’ve been coding since the web ran on Cold Fusion and prayers.

 

The first decade

Creating art. Building websites. Designing for agencies. Building iOS apps. Running my own boutique iOS shop. I cut my teeth as a UX designer and production engineer, getting my start in mobile apps through jailbroken iPhones.

Builder, budding designer, but not much of a leader.
