ABOUT
the best operations
are felt more than seen
My approach is collaborative, practical, and people-centered. I aim for the right clarity at the right moment, the right rhythm for the team, and just enough structure to keep things moving without adding friction. I know when to guide, when to challenge, and when to step in, so teams feel supported, trusted, and set up to do their best work.
I started my career as an Integrated Producer and Design Program Manager, running large-scale initiatives across brand, digital, retail, CRM, social, and live experiences. Twenty years across in-house teams and agencies taught me how work actually gets made, where complexity hides, and what teams need to deliver at scale. That foundation still shapes how I run operations today: grounded in reality, strong on execution, and focused on protecting quality without slowing momentum.
Much of my work now happens between people. I translate across disciplines, partners, and leadership teams, bring a clear point of view backed by data, and help organizations move through change without losing their footing or their morale. I care as much about growing the craft of design operations as practicing it, because great teams thrive when operations are thoughtful, adaptable, and built for humans.
I'VE WORKED
WITH:
Born and raised in Southern California, I found my rhythm (and my rent-controlled apartment) in the Bay Area. On weekends you’ll find me behind a camera uncovering the hidden details in architecture that most people walk past, stuck in a mixtape daydream, or chasing endorphins at the gym like it owes me money.
FUN FACT:
As a teenager, I spent a summer working in the sound effects department on The Price is Right television game show at CBS studios. Even then, I was drawn to the behind-the-scenes operations that keep big creative work running smoothly, and I learned that timing, coordination, and structure are what allow teams to deliver reliably under pressure, even when nobody's walking away with a brand-new car or a trip to Hawaii.
