2022 – 2023
I led design for Endeavor/IMG event technology
As VP of Design, I guided a distributed team of designers and researchers building platform services and products for events like London’s Hyde Park Winter Wonderland and the 2024 Paris Olympics. In late 2023 I decided to leave a wonderful and thoughtful team to pursue personal and professional projects.

I designed video experiences at TED
The longest and most rewarding period in my career, I directed design for TED's video viewing experiences on web platforms reaching millions of people in over 100 languages worldwide. I also led several technical design projects for the live stage at TED's flagship conference in Vancouver and TEDGlobal in Edinburgh.

I connected a community of fans
Co-founded by an ESPN executive (now President and CTO of Disney Entertainment), Fanzter was a bold startup with ideas ahead of its time. Our small company of 5 created an app enabling fan communities to form around products (and celebrities) they love by tagging them in any image on the Internet.

I built live sports apps at ESPN
My team at ESPN pioneered the first ever live-updating scoreboards (a big deal at the time). I was later promoted to direct design for more live game apps and special editorial projects in partnership with SportsCenter.
