As the Head of Geo Design Studio at Google, my primary focus is on Google Maps, where I specialize in the convergence of product design and brand experience. I oversee Visual Design, Motion Design, UX Engineering, UX Writing, Content, and Conversation Design. My team designs the next generation of Google Maps and related product experiences, including Google Earth, Waze, Auto, and Developer platforms.

In my previous role as Group Creative Director at Airbnb in San Francisco, I oversaw the internal creative teams and agency collaborations for global brand initiatives. My creative leadership was instrumental in the launch of several key projects, including Airbnb's Online Experiences, the introduction of airbnb.org, various multi-channel Host campaigns, and creative work associated with the company's IPO.

Before my time at Airbnb, I dedicated over a decade to leading design initiatives at top New York agencies such as JWT, R/GA, and AKQA. In these roles, I served as the design lead on a diverse range of projects for clients including L'Oréal, MasterCard, Red Bull, Coca-Cola, HSBC, Samsung, Verizon, and Goldman Sachs. My experience spanned e-commerce platforms, innovative campaigns, product development, and retail experiences. Furthermore, I played pivotal roles in numerous successful new business pitches, contributing to wins for brands like Coach, Volvo, Google, Red Bull, and Tchibo.

Currently based in Los Angeles, I hold a BFA in Graphic Design and an MA in Digital Arts, both earned from the Maryland Institute College of Art.
