INTRO

Born to international charity workers, I spent my childhood growing up between Southeast Asia and London, England. Those formative years instilled in me a life-long curiosity to find ways to cultivate creativity and create connection.

After immigrating to the United States, I got a degree in graphic design and worked in sports marketing for a few years. In 2011, I co-founded Telegraph, which went on to become of the most award-winning creative agencies in the South. After exiting in 2014, I spent a few years working with the founding teams of startups backed by prolific investors including Richard Branson, Peter Thiel, Mark Cuban, Gary Vaynerchuk and Tony Hsieh.

I've since served in senior leadership positions at firms including Accenture, Chaotic Moon, and Slalom, where I led product innovation strategy for brands like Apple, Disney, Charles Schwab, Subway, Pizza Hut, Walmart, and Whirlpool.

BIO

My motivation is to bring about a more human-centric approach to how products and companies are built, which is why I tend to bring a contrarian viewpoint and a fiercely design-led product mindset.

Over the last two decades I've had the opportunity to help shape and create some of the most widely-used digital experiences in America, from the Pizza Hut and Subway mobile ordering apps, to large-scale B2B platforms for Apple, Charles Schwab and Wells Fargo, to digital ecosystems for Walmart, Whirlpool, Dell, Cisco and Caesar’s Entertainment.
