About

I am currently the SVP of design at Adobe, where I run Adobe Design - Adobe's centralized global product design organization. There I oversee a full stack design team of over 850 employees. Our team's charter covers all of Adobe's businesses from Creative Cloud, Experience Cloud, and Document Cloud as well as our e-commerce and marketing website Adobe.com. In addition to product design, I oversee our core teams - design ops, team ops, research and strategy, prototyping, design systems, brand, product equity, machine intelligence design, and international design. Prior to joining Adobe, I was Head of Mobile for Behance. In the past I've worked for Atlantic Records, Parsons School for Design, Warner Music Group, Anderson Ranch Arts Center, and for the photographer Lynn Goldsmith.
