About me…
Hi there! I'm a mult-disciplinary product design director currently working on user experience in HMIs for Fisker.
My career began in New York City as a print graphic designer, where I worked on logos, identity programs and branding. Fascinated by motion in design, I moved to Los Angeles, joining renowned studios like R/Greenberg Associates (R/GA) and Imaginary Forces. There, I had the incredible opportunity to work on main title sequences for film and television projects where I honed my ability to craft engaging narratives. It was there I also began working in interactive projects, creating user interface for video games.
In 2005, as studio creative director for Digital Kitchen, I helped launch AT&T's U-verse. Here, my main focus was on team building, studio operations, client relations and business development.
In 2011, I joined BMW's Designworks as interaction design director, focusing on user-centric design for mobility projects. There, I worked closely with engineers and software developers on BMWs i3 and i8 concepts and production vehicles, later moving to Germany to lead the HMI design for Rolls-Royce motorcars and for the joint development of the Toyota Supra.
In 2021, I joined Fisker as their UX design director. I would helm Fisker's Assisted Driving and Safety (ADAS) user experience program, actively participating with suppliers, engineers and software developers, in creating, testing and validating their features for vehicle launch in 2023.
My passion for creativity, the automobile and technology, extends beyond my professional life; I coach high-performance driving on the race track so drivers can enjoy their sports cars safely. I have taught design at Art Center College of Design, contributing to their their professional journey.
