With over 15 years of experience, I'm a passionate and skilled designer who specializes in creating beautiful, yet practical solutions for the interactive environment. I've worked on a wide range of platforms including mobile, desktop, web, TV, kiosk, and home appliances, and have a deep understanding of users' needs, current trends, and emerging technology.

As the Principal Designer at Mahana, I was responsible for leading the experience design for digital health treatment for chronic conditions. One of my most notable achievements at Mahana is designing Mahana for IBS, which is the fourth software treatment ever authorized by the Food and Drug Administration.

Prior to joining Mahana, I co-founded SOLV and worked with a variety of companies, including ServiceNow, Salesforce, Airbnb, Credit.com, Intercom, Google, Nike, HTC and countless stealth start-ups. During my time at SOLV, I focused on reinventing how people work, learn, travel, search, and connect in today's world.

Before co-founding SOLV, I worked as the Assistant Manager for the North American design studio for Samsung Electronics, where I led the creation of new design concepts for consumer electronic products. Additionally, I've worked as a Senior Art Director at Roundarch/Deloitte and as an Experience Designer at Razorfish, where I designed web solutions for large corporate and government organizations like Hershey, Motorola, McKinsey Consulting, the State of California, and the US Airforce.

Aside from my professional work, I'm also the co-creator of Elias Smiles, a suite of iPhone apps that educate and entertain curious toddlers. The lack of quality apps when looking to entertain as well as educate my then two-year-old son Elias inspired me to create Elias Smiles. Since then, over 300,000 Elias Smiles apps have been downloaded, and ELIAS Zoo reached the #1 spot in educational apps in its first year of launch.

I am also a proud parent to two wonderful kids and a corgi puppy who keep me on my toes. When I have free time, I enjoy traveling and trying out new recipes. I'm also a fan of interior design and architecture and have been slowly renovating our mid century home for the last decade.
