I’m a global luxury CMF + form specialist and design leader in the home and hospitality industries. I have built, grown and refined hundreds of product collections for Georg Jensen, Ralph Lauren, Bobby Flay and Food Network housewares brands, resulting in millions of dollars of revenue. Merging my aesthetic acuity, design strategy and empathy, I am able to emotionally connect brands with consumers by making each product feel like an experience.

I am well versed in the challenges and joys of developing luxury and aspirational products. Staying relevant, changing demographics, noisy markets, innovation without alienation, aligning values with consciousness; all of these challenges are each exciting problems to solve and master. Known for keeping a level head during challenging and stressful times allows me to solve these challenges efficiently and effectively. 

“Creating emotions and desire.”

Having traversed the globe for trend and manufacturing I am able to increase product performance, functionality and aesthetic appeal. My curiosity for how things are made has helped me become proficient at material development and manufacturing for materials like leather, crystal, metals, ceramics, woods and textiles. My global treks have helped me become adept at written and verbal communication, not only with international business partners but also across company teams and levels.

I am currently serving on the Young Alumni Council for the Visual and Performing Arts College at Syracuse University and am also serving on the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Leadership Council for IDSA (Industrial Designers Society of America).

While my focus has been in the home and hospitality industries, I am always open and looking to expand fields!
