My résumé is best seen on LinkedIn. Otherwise, you can reach me via this contact form. I am currently the Head of Design for PanasonicWELL, a US-based R&D group working at the intersection of connected devices, families, and wellness.
I have a strong foundation in traditional design with a focus on information technology and 19 years of professional experience, serving both as a people manager and an individual contributor. My career has been diverse, spanning start-ups, agencies, cloud providers, public broadcasting, and public archaeology—I believe variety truly is the spice of life. I'm also dedicated to giving back as a volunteer facilitator, mentor, and teacher, most recently speaking to the Industrial Design program at CUNY. On a personal note, I'm a tinkerer, musician, and proud dog dad.
I served as Principal Design Technologist for AWS Prototyping & Cloud Engineering in NYC from 2019 - 2023. I designed and built human-centric prototypes that employ Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Robotics, Internet of Things, and Spatial Computing. Previously a UX Director for start-ups and digital creative advertising.

Facing a labor shortage due to a lack of licensed forklift drivers, I worked with an industrial agricultural manufacturer to support cobot orchestration for material fulfillment from a centralized warehouse (“Marketplace”) to transport parts via Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) to workstations in an assembly line.
