I am an award-winning, hands-on design leader utilizing bold, disruptive multi-platform solutions to define how new technology benefits our lives. I have spent the last 3 years as SpaceX’s Director of Design, successfully defining the visual direction for the company and NASA’s Commercial Crew program while leading efforts to conceptualize the human experience for future spacecraft. Aside from aerospace, my background in design leadership extends to new technology like Google mobile AR, communications for Apple Watch and ground-up product development for the high speed satellite internet service Starlink.

My humanitarian efforts include empowering STEM education through XQ/Emmerson Collective, the UN summit campaign for Conservation International, advising for XPRIZE and mentoring young women and creatives entering STEM fields. More locally I have worked with the city of Los Angeles to create a downtown Art Walk and advise on technologies that benefit minorities and underserved communities through the Mayors Innovation Board.

As a storyteller, design leader and experience architect I endeavor to advance the conceptual thinking, design, and execution of technologies that democratize information, empower people, and create sustainable solutions for life on this planet and the moonshots that follow.
