About Me

As a Senior Manager at Deloitte Digital's Applied Design practice, I bring over a decade of multidisciplinary design experience to help launch new human-centered products, services, and businesses with clients across industries. I bring together design research and strategy, deep industry knowledge, and innovation expertise. In leadership, I seek to foster positive team culture and empower individual growth. To me, this means a balance of listening and providing support, collaborating to build better ways of working, and envisioning how to advance the practice of design and business innovation.

Previously, I was Design Strategy Director at Substantial building and leading a team focused on equity-centered design, digital strategy, and UI/UX. I was also host of the Optimistic Design podcast, a series taking a practical, positive look at the future of design, ethical innovation, and technology.  I also led business innovation and design strategy projects for Johnson & Johnson's design group and piloted an internal startup for MetLife's Innovation Centre in Singapore.
