Growing high-performing teams, scalable systems, and future design leaders

teams I’ve built

I believe that great teams are the engine behind great experiences. Across my career, I’ve built multidisciplinary teams from the ground up, scaled organizations, and cultivated cultures that connect human-centered design to business strategy.

  • O3

    As a member of O3’s senior leadership team, I oversee the UX research and design practice, scaling a multidisciplinary team to drive experience transformation for enterprise clients across technology, healthcare, and fintech industries. I also built strategic partnerships with Figma and Miro to alpha test new product features, integrating continuous innovation and real-time feedback into our design operations.

    At FS, I built the in-house design and content department from the ground up, scaling a multidisciplinary team to support brand, digital product, and marketing initiatives. Led cross-functional product and brand strategy, serving as product owner for key digital platforms and driving greater advisor and client engagement.

  • SIG technology stack

    SIG

    I established SIG’s first in-house creative studio, leading a comprehensive brand transformation across trading, sales, private equity, and corporate divisions. Directed the redesign of key digital platforms, including the corporate website and internal communications systems, strengthening employee engagement across a global, technology-driven organization.

  • Macquarie headquarters Philadelphia

    Macquarie

    Built and scaled the first in-house design team at Macquarie, delivering $1M+ in annual cost savings while standardizing brand strategy across retail, retirement, and institutional investment channels. Led creative direction for major product launches, including state-sponsored 529 college savings programs.

  • AIGA Philadelphia

    Board leadership culminating in chapter presidency, where I launched lasting programs including a student scholarship fund and two sold-out design conferences. Advanced professional development initiatives supporting Philadelphia’s growing design community.

teaching + mentorship

The future of design depends on the leaders we cultivate today. Outside of my organizational leadership roles, I teach, mentor, and build curriculum — partnering with leading institutions to advance design education and innovation.
