To achieve great things, two things are needed; a plan and not quite enough time.

 - Leonard Bernstein

Culture

Building a design culture requires an understanding of the science and art of design. Great designs come from a careful mixture of data and artistic expression. Managing the relationships between technical creatives and engineers to ensure success.

Outcomes

If it wasn't shipped, then it wasn't designed. Software designs that we don't ship to our customers won't change anything outside of our own organization. My goal and the goal of my team is to ship software to our customers that changes their lives. 

Art

Creative Expression is a constant effort. Outside of work, I find time every day to build, create and learn. From photography to learning to play the violin, creative expression is an important part of who I am.

A Note

Creating a portfolio when you are a manager is an exercise in remembering all of the many collaborators, individual designers, researchers, and engineers that worked with you to create the software. Nearly every project I've ever participated in was one of deep and meaningful collaboration. The people I work with now, and have worked with in the past, are some of the most important relationships I've ever had. If in any way I failed to give my friends the credit they deserved, please know it wasn't deliberate. As a reviewer of this portfolio, you should know the teams that I've worked with are responsible for everything right, and I am responsible for all errors, color mismatches, or encoding issues.
