I have a background in User Experience and product design and a BS/MS in mechanical engineering from Stanford. Most recently, I was Chief Experience Officer at HUGE, a global digital agency, working in marketing, design, and strategy with clients of all stripes, including NYC.gov, TED, American Express, JetBlue, and Harvard Business Review.
I was honored to be included in Ad Age’s 40 under 40 list in 2014.
I’m also an advisor to Unique Board, a visionary company that collaborates with artists to transform their 2D works into limited-edition 3D objects.
Since I left Huge, I’ve been consulting. I’m not taking on new projects right now, but it never hurts to reach out.
