Creative leadership, content design, and UX strategy at scale

Hi, there.

I champion teams, design content, connect dots, and develop strategy that delivers.

My E2E content career has spanned merchandising, in-product, front-of-site, AI tooling, advertising, and media. Wholly customer-obsessed, because when our customers win, we all win.

  • Currently serving everyday entrepreneurs at GoDaddy as Director of UX, Design Strategy, and Content Design, four years and counting.

  • Three years leading content ecosystems for Intuit, maker of QuickBooks, TurboTax, CreditKarma, and MailChimp.

  • Twelve years with Oprah as a co-producer for The Oprah Show, Oprah’s Book Club, and Super Soul Sunday.

  • Three years with Tribune Publishing leading teams to design and produce branded content strategies for brands like Nestlé Waters, Walgreens Beauty, FX, Jewel-Osco, Infiniti, Michelob Ultra, and Menards.

  • Winner of one Cannes Lion Grand Prix, two global Emmys, as well as a few Gracies, Digiday, INMA, and Communicator awards.

I’m a Trekkie, a puzzler, and a longtime marathoner. Running is The Worst, and I can’t really swim, so it makes sense that I am also a triathlete.

Sitting still has never been my forte. Say hi!
