About

I’m driven by one mission: build AV products that feel effortless — solutions that cut through complexity, bridge AV and IT, and make technical teams feel instantly empowered. As Product Manager at PlexusAV, I get to turn that mission into reality by shaping next‑gen ProAV tools built for a world where interoperability, usability, and intelligent design take center stage. Before moving into product management, I built my craft in the high-pressure world of gaming and esports live productions — an environment where decisions are made in milliseconds and technology either performs flawlessly… or doesn’t make it to the show. It taught me to think fast, innovate constantly, and design for the people on the front lines. I then expanded into the wider live events and ProAV industry at Creative Technology, where I helped drive software-led innovation as Manager Business Solutions. There, I led a team focused on unifying ProAV and IT through smarter workflows, automation, and custom tools — sharpening my passion for solving real operational problems with elegant, user-focused solutions. Today at PlexusAV, I translate user challenges into clear opportunities and transform complex technical demands into intuitive, scalable products. At my core, I believe technology should remove friction, unlock possibilities, and let people focus on what they do best.
