My foundation is industrial design. At New Deal Design, I led design for Fitbit product lines that sold millions of units and managed the team behind them, balancing hands-on work with mentoring and program oversight. At Teague, I managed 14 people across industrial design and research, then moved into creative direction for commercial space station programs, shaping how people would live and work in microgravity.
I also designed the systems around the work: mapping how industrial, experience and mechanical design worked together across each phase so teams shared one playbook, and establishing the review and decision processes that aligned internal and client organizations. Along the way, I managed relationships with client and internal executives, presented to board members and NASA, and helped grow the business through proposals, pitches and partnerships.
