Senior UX Designer,
Google Cloud Operations Suite
I’m a Senior UX Designer with over thirteen years of product design experience living and working in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I have a passion for learning and collaboration, and a proven track record of leading cross-disciplinary teams to define strategic vision and execute the delivery of successful and innovative software applications.
I currently spend my time solving complex problems and designing human-centered experiences for Google Cloud Platform. Previously I led a team of designers working in the artificial intelligence space with IBM Watson. Prior to that, I led a team of designers at Branding Brand, a mobile commerce agency, to design mobile sites and native apps for some of the world's largest retailers.
Design Ethos
Humanity
Design is an act of service and should serve people first and foremost— inclusively and without prejudice.
Intelligence
Technology needs to be designed with intelligence and act as a partner and collaborator which expands user potential.
Trust
As designers, it is our responsibility to ensure that the systems we design and build are ethical and trustworthy, and will not cause harm.
Leadership
Great design leaders inspire and guide their teams, and unlock potential in individual contributors, to enable great design in service of a larger cause.
Knowledge
Learning is an integral part of the design process, and as designers, we should always be asking ‘why’ and seeking to expand our understanding of a problem space.
Collaboration
Truly meaningful products cannot be created in a vacuum and must include the free exchange of ideas between individuals of varying backgrounds and experiences.
