I directed the Design team responsible for Supply Chain Associate Experiences, which includes the digital tools used at over 200 Distribution Centers, supporting all 4600 Walmart stores in the US. Our experiences are helping modernize, connect, and automate our Supply Chain to ensure our customers have access to greater assortment, fresher food, and lower prices in the channel of their choice. My team does this with consumer-grade experiences that create preference, efficiency and new ways of working.

As UX Director and Head of Design for Health & Wellness, I led the design of the Walmart Wellness app, our new Wellness clinics, and in-store Pharmacy experiences.

I lead UX Speakeasy, a 501(c)3 nonprofit an the official San Diego chapter of IxDA, working to elevate the role and impact of design in San Diego and the world.

I led the design of Intuit's community-powered Self Help and Search platform, which empowers 150 million people annually to run their small business, do their taxes, and manage their financial lives through QuickBooks, TurboTax and Mint.

I became a certified Innovation Catalyst. In 2016 I augmented my training with Ron Kertzner's Advanced Facilitation Skills workshop, and ICAgile certification.

My co-director and I built the largest product design team in southern California, staffing a team and designing a beautiful new studio under my direction. What began as a push towards design excellence ended with a tripling of shareholder value, and subsequent acquisition of ACTIVE by a private investment group for $1BN.

I was recruited to Alaris Medical Systems to lead a new Concept Development team, replacing agency-reliance on IDEO and Cooper. I was later made Director of User Experience at CareFusion, and led the design of next-generation Infusion and Medication Management systems.

I built a small staff and created a strategic relationship with Ziba design for global Design Research and Industrial Design support.

I was invited to join Motorola in their heyday of design as a founding member of the MOTOCITY studio. Under Design Directors Tim Parsey and Jim Wicks, I developed numerous user-centric technology innovations and served as the Application Lead for the MotoTech segment, and secondary and peripheral interfaces for Chameleon, Motorola’s Next-Generation Mobile UI. In July 2003 I was awarded special companywide recognition as a “Think Tank Innovator.”
