Director/designer of brands, products,
and experiences on emerging platforms
I am a director/designer of brands, products, and experiences on emerging platforms.
Across my career I've lead product and design teams for brands like Nike, AT&T, HBO, Toyota, and many more.
Presently, I am the SVP of Brand and Design at Piano, an enterprise software platform powering commercial content experiences for the biggest media companies in the world.
This is a short list of work I've lead over the years.
Design sets the bar
I lead by example throughout the design process: cultivating the vision and conceptual foundation, establishing the visual center, building out design systems and design teams, and then directing them towards success. Every day I operate in a variety of hands-on roles — artist, designer, brand thinker, product strategist, mentor, illustrator, programmer, prototyper, animator, photographer.
Present
In 2012, I came aboard a startup called Tinypass after meeting two industry expats and two former bank system architects looking to revamp the digital content business. We started by building the perfect access-and-monetization solution for independent content creators, which rapidly scaled into an end-to-end digital business platform for companies of all sizes.
In 2015, we merged with Piano Inc to form the world's most sophisticated enterprise digital business platform. As the SVP of Brand & Design, I have lead product and design teams through the successful acquisition and integration of three more companies: Newzmate, Cxense, and AT Internet.
Future
I am available for all next-generation, artful, innovative opportunities.
