Out standing in a field.
I have been a digital creative leader in the dynamic realm of product design for over two decades. With a keen eye for detail and an innate ability to fuse form with function, I have consistently delivered groundbreaking products that have been recognized across industries. As the Head of Product & Design at Modernize, I play a pivotal role in building and leading DesignOps teams, fostering collaboration, and driving projects from conception to market success for multinational corporations and innovative startups.
I am a visual storyteller, always doodling, painting and filling notebooks with daily life and fun adventures. My diverse creativity, plus a unique tolerance for rejection, has led to an impressive and recognized career to date. An established painter whose award winning work has been exhibited nationally, I am combining tech and art with Story AR, an animated augmented reality storytelling. With a rich history of animation production, my most recent project is SUNK!, an irreverent animation aboard a very certain cruise ship coming to a screen. What started as a father’s attempt to cheer up my kids one morning has since evolved into a collection of thousands of lunchbox drawings spanning over 10 years and counting.
Beyond the boardrooms and design studios, I am an outdoor adventurer at heart, but the mountains are not just a playground for winter pursuits. I channel my entrepreneurial passion for outdoor adventure into Grace Skis, a leader in the Colorado independent ski market Graceskis.com. As an AIARE Level II certified backcountry skier, I am a part of the Colorado backcountry community, translating the exhilaration of our mountains into every aspect of my life.
