About

Hello! I'm a Content Designer turned Product Designer, currently working as a Content Director at BlackBerry. I lead content and digital experience strategy for BlackBerry's Secure Communications division, where I'm driving the total redesign of the brand's digital ecosystem to create a unified journey.

Before BlackBerry, I drove end-to-end product design and content strategy across major tech brands, including McAfee, Unity Technologies, Intel, and Groupon. Throughout my career, I've led design teams, shaped brand design systems, and directed the UX process for flagship products and high-impact partnerships with brands like Dell, Verizon, and Movistar. No matter the scale of the design or content challenge, I enjoy connecting dots, implementing new systems, and building relationships to break down silos across departments. For me, shaping the internal culture is just as important as the final product, and I love getting everyone aligned and moving in the same direction.

Originally hailing from Seattle, I've lived in San Diego, Paris, Montreal, and London. Immersing myself in different cultures made me fascinated by the way language and culture impact human behavior and interactions. I love balancing cultural awareness with data and human-centered design to craft intuitive experiences for audiences across the globe.

When I'm not designing, you can find me running, sailing, or getting the hang of my most recent hobbies - cycling and tennis. I also enjoy traveling off the beaten path and spending time with family and friends.
