My passion is in Experience design with a preference in the augmented and virtual reality fields.

It started in the automotive industry where I helped the Honda Research Institute team do research on HUDs for driving experience. The desire to design user experience was confirmed after I worked on the first Apple Watch marketing campaign; I knew I wanted to move into the UX space.
I’ve also done research on various black projects at Apple, prototyping user experiences in augmented and virtual environments. One of my contributions is a patent for Gesture based control in autonomous vehicles.

Prior to transitioning to Product Design, my background is in broadcast and visual FX animation. I created motion for the broadcast sports entertainment industry (San Jose Sharks) and visual effects for movies such as Iron Man 2 and Transformers 2. I have also worked at Apple, within its marketing video production team, creating animations for Keynote event, retail stores displays and commercials. I lead the team that delivered all the UI animations for the original Apple Watch Launch marketing campaign.

I enjoy hikes, running and mountain biking around the many trails that the Bay Area offers. My other hobbies include scuba diving, cooking, watching hockey, Formula 1 and making jazz/lounge music playlists.
