I am currently the Head of Design at Citi where I lead multiple U.S. based design studios of cross-discipline teams that create global concepts, designs and innovative omnichannel experiences in digital, social, mobile, advertising, branding and bank branch design. I helped to lead the creation of the Citi Design Principles and Design Ethos which govern all global design work as well as helping to create a unique version of Design Thinking with agile methods that was co-created with IDEO.

I previously worked as VP Global Brand Design at Starwood Hotels where I led digital design, content and film & video teams for all 10 of Starwood’s brands as well as leading design across all media for the Starwood Preferred Guest loyalty program. Notable innovation included Aloft in SecondLife, the state aware design of the SPG OS apps (named one of the World Top 100 apps), SPG Mobile Check-in and SPG Keyless Entry for iPhone and Apple Watch. Apple featured this work in 8 keynotes, 4 TV commercials, on Apple.com, in Apple Store, in the Human Interface Guidelines and more.
