As a Creative Director at frog design I am passionately and deeply involved in the conceptual explorations of many of the convergent projects we tackle. During the past 12 years I have managed cross-functional design teams in the development of compelling user interfaces across multiple platforms in innovative ways to create cohesive and immersive experiences.

Having led numerous projects in both product and interaction design for other large clients, I am now leading the projects and helping define the strategy for one of frog's Fortune 10 clients. I am working to redefine the consumer touchpoints across the portfolio of products and services and focused on ways in which design can strategically support a cohesive, convergent experience across hardware and software. It is by proxy of our projects that we are able to change the direction a client that touches over 100M consumers. I am truly amazed each day of the power of design and communication and the importance of story telling. It is through this aspect of our work where we are able to position the products and services framed through the user, as catalysts in the organizational shift.

Over the last 5+ years I have gained invaluable and extensive experience designing products for the digital home including creating engaging 10' experiences, architecting digital media servers and creating unique discovery mechanisms. My in-depth experience with synchronization and content aggregation methods, accessing content anywhere within the house and remotely played a critical role ultimately resulting in the award winning MediaSmart TV interface. As an extension to the digital entertainment products I have been a part of, I worked on the design of a future wireless ecosystem for a Fortune 50 consumer electronics company specifically focusing on creating a consistent interaction model across multiple devices.

In addition to digital entertainment products, I have worked on many ground breaking projects in the mobile space. My work harnessing emerging technologies was leveraged for Qualcomm where I and a small team designed conceptual location based services and other rich services utilizing over the air data services and proximity triggers. Recently, I worked on the design of a future mobile handset, involved from day one with the strategic concept to the design of the supporting services across both hardware and software.

Everyday I wake up and am able to truly impact the future experience of millions of people. This is an amazing opportunity.
