Currently as the Director of Design at Google Geo, I lead the global design studio that imagines and designs all Google Geo products; including Google Maps, Google Earth, Auto and Developer Platforms to life in close partnership with the cross-functional teams. As the head of the Geo Design Studio, I lead Visual Design, Motion Design, UX Writing, Content Design, UX Engineering and VizLab.
Previously as the Group Creative Director at Airbnb in San Francisco, I led the internal creative team and agency partners responsible for brand work, globally. During this time I creatively led the launch of multiple initiatives for Airbnb’s Online Experiences, the launch of airbnb.org and multi-channel Host campaigns.
Before joining Airbnb, I spent more than a decade working in some of the most reputable agencies in New York, including JWT, R/GA and AKQA. During my time in these agencies, I worked as the design lead on countless projects, from e-commerce platforms, campaigns, products to retail experiences on the L'oréal, MasterCard, Red Bull, Coca Cola, HSBC, Samsung, Verizon and Goldman Sachs accounts. I played key roles in a number of new business pitches, including Coach, Volvo, Google, Red Bull and Tchibo.
I have a BFA in Graphic Design and MA in Digital Arts from Maryland Institute College of Art. I’m currently living in Los Angeles.
