Plate I — The subject Bay Area, 2026

I’ve spent my career at the intersection of design, technology, and product strategy — working at companies like Adobe, Amazon, Samsung, GoPro, and Salesforce.

I lead product work on Adobe Lightroom, recognized as Apple’s Mac App Store App of the Year in 2024, with Lightroom Mobile also featured as App of the Day on the App Store. I hold multiple patents spanning voice-activated systems, digital content rendering, and robotics.

Outside of work, I mentor product management graduates through Stanford GSB and volunteer with the Pacific Beach Coalition.
