I spent my childhood growing up in Southeast Asia, Africa, and England. Those formative years instilled in me a life-long curiosity to find ways to cultivate curiosity and creativity.
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, a digital agency (before that was really a thing). 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. Sounds more impressive than it actually is, but I'm grateful for the opportunities I've had to work with some pretty great people trying to do meaningful things.

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.
