Scaling Design Thinking for Innovation

At Procter & Gamble International Operations SA, I played a pivotal role in building P&G's design capability for Asia, fueling the region to become P&G's growth engine. I have a proven track record of driving innovation at scale and simplifying complex design architectures.  This design thinking experience can be leveraged to gain key user insights and tackle "wicked" problems.

Building the Future of Mobility

As Chief Creative Officer at Hydra Design Labs, I lead total automotive design projects with a fabrication studio dedicated to shaping the future of vehicles. With over 30 years of OEM experience, our team successfully delivered transformative projects, including the Endurance EV Pickup truck for Lordstown Motors. Consider Hydra for large-scale vehicle projects. Click on the logo to see our work at Hydra.

My design process typically begins with an initial consultation, during which I discuss your needs, goals, and vision for the project. From there, I create a detailed design brief and begin the discovery phase. Once the strategy and objectives are defined, I provide multiple design concepts for you to choose from, and work with you to refine the chosen design until it meets your expectations.
