Trust

I believe that trust is the foundation of all the best creative work—that great ideas, team culture, and quality execution are a product of good conditions. Trust leads to transparency, a shared sense of ownership, and ultimately the motivation and collaborative nature to do great work together. Whether your building an app from scratch or a global marketing campaign, it takes a village, and we all know communities work better when everyone trusts their neighbor.

AT GOOGLE

I managed multiple creative agencies including teams of senior staff located across the country, who are experts in their craft. I trust them to do their best, and in turn, do my best to empower their teams, lead with empathy, and push the work to be the best it can be.

AT INSTRUMENT

I directly manage a team of experienced strategists and co-lead a multi-disciplined team of 25 spanning brand, digital product, research, UX design, and creative strategy.

After joining the company as one of the first strategists, I helped grow the strategy workstream into one of Instrument’s core offerings. My vision is to encourage new ways of approaching the role of strategy in the design and technology planning process—unbound by traditional notions of planning and embracing hybrid creativity.
