About me

I am what they call a “serial expat”. I was born and raised in the USA between a cattle ranch in Wyoming and the scenic mountains of Utah — but I have spent a good part of my life moving and living around the world.

Currently, I focus on design & product strategy based in Switzerland. I use my experience in business and design to take a pragmatic look at how things can be designed, in the most aesthetic way possible. This also applies to my planning and excel sheets.

Overall, I focus on challenging, innovative digital projects that use Agile Methodology and Design Thinking. I am passionate about learning new things, problem solving, and adapting to new methods and project needs. I have experience working with teams internationally, living in North America, Europe and South East Asia.
