Improving design skills

I'm helping to manage and scale both brand & product design teams for a company that hopes to build a forward-facing streaming platform for local sports fans.

I've had to rewrite the entire playbook on design and how it's perceived at this org, undoing design and tech debt while scaling up the business through thoughtful systems and utilizing visionary technologies.

I'm still learning every day, and I love sharing the things I've learned and failed in with others.

I got to work on a total overhaul of the You.com experience—helping to design the shift towards a more conversational AI approach from one that was centered mostly around search.

Lead designer for FP&A platform with a focus on financial modeling and analysis, data management, and executive reporting workflows and experiences.

Lead designer for 0-1 third-party risk management product.

• $0 to $1M ARR in first year
• Led UXR efforts in building customer partner relationships

Led AuditBoard’s brand design team in creating thoughtful design through digital experiences and events. In addition to managing the team, I also designed key brand experiences for AuditBoard, including its annual branded conference, Audit & Beyond.

I run a small freelance operation on the side to help founders, startups, and agencies create compelling types of work including but not limited to the following: product strategy, product design, brand design, web design, and web development.

First designer for a 0-1 digital streaming platform geared towards children.
• Designed and built foundations for brand and product.
• Helped to implement product strategy leading to <$10M in ARR by 2018.
• Created and implemented production-accurate design systems while pushing forward product vision and strategy.
• Cross-platform design for mobile (iOS, Android), web (desktop), and TV Apps (SamsungTV, Apple, Android, etc.)
