About

I’m a product designer with over 15 years experience in creating mobile, mixed reality, and web experiences for global brands. For the past seven years I have managed design projects and teams across North America, Asia, and Europe from my base in Vancouver, Canada.

My experience includes:

• Three years creating design systems for mobile and mixed reality operating systems

• Four years conducting design research, including usability studies, contextual research, and surveys

• Five years of leading web browser design projects for mobile and mixed reality platforms

• Four years of leading high volume app store design projects for smartphones

• Six years managing website design projects for news media and magazines

My role is to find the place where the needs of users and business converge — to align customers, product, and engineering behind a shared vision and execute. These partnerships are critical in reducing risk and in driving a successful product from the initial concept to product launch and beyond.

How I help

Understanding
I start by investigating and defining the challenge from the consumer, business and technical perspectives.

Creating
I then work closely with the product managers, researchers and engineers to evaluate and refine concepts until we find a market fit.

Implementing
At this stage, I work with the engineers, product manager and visual designers to execute on the design.

Supporting
I’m always looking for new ways to get organizations in touch with the needs and desires of their current and future customers.
