Geo Design Studio specializes in the convergence of product design and brand experience. My group works across all Google Geo products, including Google Maps, Google Earth, Waze, Auto, and Developer platforms, collaborating closely with cross-functional teams. As the head of the Studio, I lead Visual Design, Motion Design, UX Engineering, UX Writing, and Content Design across all these product lines.

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.
