20 YEARS OF REAL WORLD DESIGN EXPERTISE
Experience matters and I have a ton of it.
Based in San Francisco and working in the SF Bay Area innovation hub for twenty years, I have seen it all. I've worked with start-ups, non-profits, and enterprise giants. I've helped each of these sectors realize their digital and fiscal dreams through custom apps, stunning online experiences, and technological breakthroughs. I've lead cross-functional teams both as an entrepreneur and as a key member of corporate teams. I've collected some fantastic stories along the way as well!
