CASE STUDIES Who I Am, What I BuildPhilosophy of Leadership
A look at the philosophy and practice driving my design leadership
I design experiences that empower and inspire. At DigitalOcean, I lead a talented team to deliver intuitive, impactful solutions for cloud developers, blending data-driven insights with creativity to drive real results. My work at IBM focused on crafting self-service tools that met the needs of even the most technically complex environments, pushing design at the speed of business.
With an MFA in Communication Design and a BFA in Graphic Design, my background in theatre and design drives my approach—emphasizing collaboration, innovation, and a relentless focus on human-centered design. I’m passionate about mentoring and building teams that push boundaries, solve problems, and anticipate the future.
Leadership for me isn’t just about managing—it’s about fostering environments where ideas thrive, driving alignment, and empowering people to deliver excellence.
