I didn't set out to be a manager. I set out to make things — and I found that the fastest way to make better things was to build better teams.

That's been the through-line of my career: a decade in the craft as a product designer, then a decade building the conditions for great design to happen. I've founded and scaled a product practice from one consultant to eleven. I've built career frameworks adopted across 30+ practitioners. I've coached executives on product vision and strategy. And through all of it, I've stayed hands-on — because I believe a design leader who stops designing eventually stops leading anything real.

Today I'm a Senior Manager of Product Design at SiriusXM, where I lead design across four delivery teams and direct an experimentation program generating $1.5–2M in incremental annual revenue. Before that: leading integrated design and product teams at Integral, working as a player-coach and transformation consultant at Slalom, and shipping products at Pivotal Labs — where I learned the lean, ship-it-and-learn philosophy that still shapes how I work.
