HEAD OF DESIGN | DECEMBER 2018 - PRESENT

I’ve held several roles since joining Atlassian and currently lead design across our non-technical project management suite: Jira Work Management, and Trello. In this role, I lead a team of ~30 Product Designers, Content Designers, and Design Managers in the US and Australia. Our products are used millions of users worldwide who rely on our tools to make sense of chaos in their work and daily lives. In this role, I sit on the leadership squads of both products and represent Design in strategic planning and direct communication with Atlassian’s C Suite.

CREATIVE DIRECTOR | FEBRUARY 2017 - JANUARY 2018
Cratejoy is the technology that subscription box companies use to run great businesses. I joined Cratejoy to lead their Brand and User Experience efforts in both B2B and B2C contexts. During my tenure, we established our first ever design system and redesigned our marketplace (cratejoy.com) and seller portal.

CREATIVE DIRECTOR | JULY 2015 - JANUARY 2017

Able Lending was on a mission to fund the Fortune 5 Million, the small businesses that big banks often neglect. I joined Able after first being a customer and experiencing the early version of their product and brand. My chief responsibility at Able was to create a memorable, branded and pain free funding process for our loan applicants and their Backers. I managed our internal product team of five, own the product road map and budgeting for the design and engineering departments.

CREATIVE DIRECTOR & FOUNDER | JANUARY 2011 - JUNE 2015

After developing a healthy freelance business, I founded Sputnik Creative, a digital and branding studio. Sputnik’s small team of six was responsible for brands like Cuvee Coffee, Tecovas Boots, Independence Brewing, Storyland, Rowing Dock, and Stag Provisions. Sputnik also collaborated with mega brands like IBM, Kendall Jackson, Bacardi and Bombay Sapphire. As the principal of the studio, my roles ranged from design and creative direction to account management and business development.
