More than just work

I use my skills not only to build products for businesses, but also to lift up the next generation of designers and to give back to my community.

Early Stage Startup

I was Director of Design at Lucid Lane, an early stage startup with a vision to end opioid and benzo dependance. I joined at Series A and helped grow and scale the business. The product design team scaled to 2 designers and help from an outside design agency.

The Lucid Lane Story

Design Craft

Blending creativity and functionality to create aesthetically pleasing and purposeful solutions. I spent many years as an individual contributor, across different industries, mastering the craft and sweating the details.

Writing and Media

I read, watch and talk to many people from VCs to founders to product experts and community builders. I share my thoughts on LinkedIn and YouTube, covering topics such as #startups, #0-1, #beingtheonlydesigner, #productthinking, and #productledgrowth.

I mentor designers on ADPlist and First Round, assist in the development of university design curricula and deliver guest lectures at the California College of Arts.

Volunteering

I co-lead Code for San Francisco, playing a vital role towards becoming an independent entity, getting 501(c)(3) status, overseeing rebranding efforts, and expanding our sponsorship outreach. I also lead projects in partnership with city organizations by building teams and providing guidance.
