Want to know more about my background or design philosophy? The Chatbot is based on 100+ hours of my past presentations, interviews, and class lectures.

I have over twenty years of experience in interactive design with a background in brand strategy, user research, and interface design. My portfolio includes work with Microsoft, Amazon, T-Mobile, ABC Television, Trulia, and Match.com.

I head design & research teams at AWS for Applied AI Solutions, where I lead multi-disciplinary design and research teams building next-generation Agentic AI solutions across healthcare, life sciences, autonomous mobility, and merchant experience platforms.

I also teach at the University of Washington in the Informatics School and Masters of Communication in Digital Media program, focusing on Information Architecture and Interactive Design & Strategy. I'm passionate about mentoring the next generation of designers and sharing practical insights from industry experience.

My approach combines strategic thinking with hands-on design execution, always keeping the user at the center. I believe great design happens at the intersection of business goals, technical constraints, and human needs.
