I love simple design & high performance teams
I’m a Senior Product & Design Leader who’s built & managed teams at LinkedIn, Yahoo!, and eBay. The consumer products my teams' build are used by hundreds of millions of people.
At LinkedIn I led the Mobile UX team. Later I was the Group Design Manager for the Core Products team (Profile, Search, and Growth). I believe great products start with a thesis, touch people emotionally, and are validated with data. I care about advancing the art of product design.
Prior to LinkedIn I was the Design Director for Yahoo! Search where I lead a team of 15 designers & prototypers who were responsible for the holistic search experience. Before Yahoo! I was a lead designer at eBay. I was also a founding Director of the Interaction Design Association (IxDA) and an alumni of the Human Computer Interaction program at Carnegie Mellon.
Mobile Design Team Manager
My team built award winning apps for iOS, Android, Tablet, & Mobile web.
