Product Design Manager @ KAYAK I currently lead design for five business areas, with a focus on our B2B product offerings. I have the pleasure of managing a group of wonderful, talented designers spread across our Cambridge, Copenhagen, and Berlin offices. While I love a good, knotty design challenge, it’s helping my designers grow that inspires me to bring my all to the job each day.
Adjunct Faculty @ Merrimack College I created and taught a 300-level undergraduate User Experience Design course both on campus and remotely. My curriculum included lectures on design methodologies, training in the latest design software, and a capstone project that students could proudly display in their portfolios.
Design Director @ Nonfiction Before joining KAYAK, I founded and led my own design consultancy. I grew a small, but mighty team that embedded ourselves within our clients’ businesses and helped them bring to market new software products. I learned what it takes to operate a profitable business through first-hand experience and a whole lot of sweat equity.
The agency years… Early in my career, I cut my teeth at several Boston-area agencies.
