With more than 20 years of experience spanning User Experience Design, Product Design, and Graphic Design, I bring a strategic, human-centered approach to translating complex ideas into clear, compelling design solutions. My work consistently focuses on identifying the strongest expression of a concept within an ever-evolving digital and cultural landscape.

​

Born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, I earned a degree in Fashion Design and Pattern Technology from the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City, while simultaneously studying classical ballet in NYC. After two years in the fashion industry, I pursued a professional career in dance and choreography, relocating to Los Angeles, where I spent over fifteen years creating work for television, film, music videos, commercials, and live events. My choreography has been performed across Canada, Europe, and the United States, and I have collaborated with renowned artists and creatives including Quincy Jones, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Shari Lewis, Whoopi Goldberg, Jerry Lewis, Harry Connick Jr., and Mary J. Blige. In 1996, I was honored with an Emmy Award for Outstanding Choreography for the 1995 Miss America Pageant.

Following a deeply rewarding career in the performing arts, I returned to academia to further formalize my design practice, studying Design and Interactive Media as well as Competitive Business Intelligence at Georgetown University. Since then, I have led and supported design teams in an acting UX Creative Director capacity for globally recognized organizations including Disney, 20th Century Fox, Guitar Center, Bloomberg, and Microsoft. My work in art direction has been recognized with numerous Webby and ADDY Awards. I currently serve as a Principal Product Manager at Microsoft, where I continue to shape strategic, high-impact experiences at scale.
