My professional approach is grounded in visionary leadership and operational rigor, building design cultures that are simultaneously strategic and executionally excellent.
I have a proven record of delivering category-defining products for the Pixel, Nest, and Logi Productivity series that continue to shape how millions of people live and interact with technology.
Across my career, my work has been recognized with over a dozen patents and major international design awards, including Red Dot “Best of the Best,” iF, IDSA Gold, and Fast Company Innovation by Design.

I am dedicated to translating complex brand pillars into coherent, scalable product experiences that resonate across markets.
