About

I lead where
product vision, creative direction,
and emerging technology become real.

The short version

A career leading teams that turn emerging technology into experiences that keep people engaged and invested in entire universes, for years.

I’m an executive product, creative, and technology leader who has spent a career working at the seams: between strategy and craft, vision and shipping, story and system.

My work spans games, AI, XR and spatial computing, digital therapeutics, cognitive training, and interactive education, usually where ambitious companies are translating something new into a product people will actually show up for.

The connective tissue is motivation: how people engage with technology to play, learn, grow, and change behavior. My work brings together AAA game design, narrative, neuroscience, behavioral psychology, emerging technology, and interaction design to create experiences people don’t just use, but care about.

Along the way, I was personally named by Newsweek as one of America’s 50 Greatest Disruptors. The throughline is simple: I’m most valuable when the opportunity is big, the shape is still ambiguous, and the work needs someone who can connect product, creative, technology, story, team, and execution into a direction people can actually move toward.
