There once was a lonely wannabe designer. He sat in a late night coffee shop, nursing a decaf americano with Sketch open. He moved some shapes on a screen and dreamt of being part of the design industry. Over 10 years later, dozens of incredible apps and projects, and hundreds of new friends (more to come hopefully), I can't say thank you enough.
I've led design teams for Mercury, designed for Dropbox and Facebook, and I'm the retired co-host of Epicurrence.
Here's an ongoing list of people I deeply owe: for encouragement, for advice, for opening doors, for inviting me to go on this wild journey.

Leaders are the connective thread for teams and build deep relationships.
At a high level my role is to build relationships between: customers, the business, design, and teams. I use relational coaching to help empower, challenge, and support the designers on the team.
