It’s always bizarre to try and summarize who you are and what you stand for in a few paragraphs. But, here it goes. Good design and responsible leadership require a perfect mix of being idealistic with a healthy dose of pragmatism. One requires the ability to dream big, the other needs time and dedication to the craft. Ultimately, being exposed to everything the industry can throw at you helps perfect that recipe. Over the last 20 years I have worked on everything from cook book designs, multi-million-dollar rebrands, and large scale Fintech, to hyper-growth start ups and massive turn-arounds. Working in so many industries at every level has shaped the way I collaborate, make decisions, and my core beliefs. Wether I am leading teams, tackling a new design problems or making something with my own hands I live by a few rules; Sweat the details, leave no stone unturned, swing for the fences every time, but never let perfect get in the way of good enough.
