Sr. Director of Product Management for Adobe Lightroom. Twenty-plus years at the seam where craft meets technology — Adobe, Amazon, GoPro, Samsung, Salesforce.
I’ve spent my career at the intersection of design, technology, and product strategy — working at companies like Adobe, Amazon, Samsung, GoPro, and Salesforce.
At Adobe, I get to work alongside an incredibly talented team of engineers, designers, and marketers who share a deep passion for photography. Together we build Lightroom — recognized as Apple’s Mac App Store App of the Year in 2024, with Lightroom Mobile also featured as App of the Day. Great products don’t come from one person; they come from teams who genuinely care about the people using them.
I hold multiple patents spanning voice-activated systems, digital content rendering, and robotics — and I’m still most energized when a new idea is just getting started.
Outside of work, I mentor product management graduates through Stanford GSB and volunteer with the Pacific Beach Coalition. I'm also a maker at heart — I build projects with Arduino and ESP32 microcontrollers, wiring up sensors and writing firmware to bring hardware ideas to life. Lately I've been exploring 3D printing as another way to close the gap between idea and object.
Leading cross-functional product teams driving Adobe’s photography products — including Lightroom and Photoshop’s ACR — from concept to global scale. Apple Mac App Store App of the Year, 2024; Lightroom Mobile featured as App of the Day on the App Store.
Drove transformative growth for Service Cloud messaging, scaling products to power 100M+ customer interactions per month across thousands of global enterprises.
Directed the product roadmap in close collaboration with founder & CEO Nick Woodman, shaping vision and strategy for the HERO5 Black and Session software ecosystem.
