Impact

A career-long pattern of building the systems that let design drive measurable business results, at every company, at every scale.

Bar chart. Revenue tied to design-led work: JCPenney $100 million, Superpages $55 million, the American app for iOS 26 $2.3 million and the American booking engine $111 million.

These numbers reflect design held to the same standard as product and engineering. They show real revenue, not just user satisfaction scores.

Bar chart. Team size at each stage: 3 at JCPenney, 27 at Siemens, 40 at the start of American and 130-plus at its peak.

Growth and right-sizing draw on the same skill of reading what the business needs and building the organization to match it. Before COVID the team was 64. I reduced it by 30%, then grew it to 130+.
