DESIGNER
PROJECT MANAGER
STRATEGIST
My work applies psychology, science, engineering, aesthetics and business knowledge to realize products and systems that are well adapted to satisfying both people’s and business's needs. These may involve a single person using a single device for a simple activity or many people interacting to accomplish many activities using complex interactive technologies in many different contexts.
I have worked in multiple industries and produced a wide range of design solutions including, among others, the design of:
-
Enterprise-level productivity applications for web, mobile and desktop platforms,
-
A unique mobile-device and associated network,
-
Advanced administrator tools for interaction with high-availability telecom systems,
-
Forward-looking cockpit automation systems in tactical aircraft.
I have led multidisciplinary research and design teams, and directed user experience research, design, and test within large companies and for my own start-up endeavors. I have effectively used design-thinking, human-centered design, and agile processes in product and system development life-cycles.
​
My work produces innovative, usable and tested solutions. My interests are in envisioning, innovating and realizing new human-technology systems that enable and foster positive human experiences, engagement, creative expression, productivity and stakeholder value.
