About

When I started my career I took opportunities that threw me into the deep-end. Luckily I learnt to swim quickly and thrived, but I always wished I had a mentor that could provide guidance and validate the decisions I was making.

I’m now in a position where I can do just that for people that are ambitious but looking for support as they take the next step in their career. I take a lot of satisfaction working with the next generation of talent and supporting your growth.
Whether you’re just starting out, looking pivot and take a calculated risk, or capitalize on the momentum you’ve created and move up, I can help provide meaningful mentorship if you’re ambitious and determined to invest in yourself.
I recognize that you’re also investing in me if we were to work together, and so there’s joint motive for us to make our partnership work and realize your ambitions.

A little about me -
I started in design engineering in the IoT industry before transitioning into managing technology and design teams building digital products. I cofounded an IoT business in Silicon Valley and headed Product and Operations before making a career change and moving into design and marketing consulting for AKQA. I lead Strategy and Technology for AKQA New York, and held executive roles leading Product, Design and Technology at AKQA Shanghai and Tokyo. I now call New York home, but spent 15 years in China and graduated in design and engineering in London.

I’ve found a way to effectively navigate multiple industries across organizations large and small in vastly different markets and I’d love the opportunity to share this knowledge with you on your journey.
