I am a technology leader looking to build next-generation consumer products that give power back to the people, align with their intuition, and feel like an extension of themselves.

 

From 2011 to 2014, I led the core mobile product strategy, design, and execution at Zillow, helping transition them into a mobile-first company. I managed the rentals as well as the real estate suite of applications across platforms (and teams across offices). I have extensive experience in product management, program management, and people management. I also advised acquisitions and satellite offices on mobile strategy and execution.

Prior to Zillow, I was a Creative Technologist and Mobile Consultant at Übermind, Inc. (acquired by Deloitte Digital). During my tenure with Übermind, I worked for a number high profile clients including Apple, Fox Broadcasting, Allrecipes and Target, developing numerous award-winning mobile solutions.

Within the larger tech community, I volunteer my time to mentor and facilitate Startup Weekend and other entrepreneurial events around the US, Jordan, and Canada.

I am also a public speaker and lecturer. I speak at conferences on user experience and mobile product design and development as well as team management at events like Seattle Interactive 2013, ConveyUX 2014, Delight Conference 2014. I am particularly interested in the next frontiers of personal computing, sensors, connected homes, cars, and appliances. I am also interested in what this means to our relationship to technology, to each other, and the environment around us.

I graduated cum laude from Macalester College with undergraduate degrees in Mathematics, Computer Science, and Studio Art. I received a Masters of Communications in Digital Media degree from the University of Washington.
