My Work
My journey in design leadership has been marked by a series of strategic roles, where I have shaped and guided user experience visions to realization.
At Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, PTC, and Intralinks, I took the helm as a senior executive, steering the development of innovative product platforms that have contributed to the progress and growth of each company.
My entrepreneurial spirit came to the forefront when I established the UX Team at Axis Technology, where I not only led but also directly contributed to a portfolio of consulting projects. These projects crafted bespoke user experience and product designs for prominent clients such as Fidelity, BNY Melon, First Marblehead, and Bank of America, enhancing their digital interfaces and customer engagement strategies.
In a pivotal role at The Weather Company, I was principal UX lead, orchestrating the design of cutting-edge weather software engineered for the aviation and trading sectors. My efforts also yielded UX advancements in flight tracking systems and a comprehensive decision support platform that has been pivotal in providing actionable, market-critical insights to commodity traders globally.
