Product Development & Design Management
Industrial Designer/Design Manager with 17+ years experience in product design & development in both consulting and corporate settings. My work spans many product categories and industries, including: consumer, medical, high-tech, aerospace manufacturing, outdoor sporting goods, and textiles.
In 1997 I joined Intel Corporation where I led Industrial Design and Serviceability of the Enterprise Server product line. In 2003 I joined the Intel start-up User Centered Design Group where I managed the Industrial Design team and later, the interdisciplinary Experience Research & Design Team. UCD was a multi-disciplinary team of user experience researchers, designers, and engineers whose charter was to translate end-user value into tangible solutions that generate business impact for Intel. Currently, I manage the Design of notebook computers for Intel’s worldwide Channel mobile boards business.
As a formally educated Industrial Designer, I have significant experience educating teams and organizations about the value of Design as a core business advantage. I am experienced in promoting the Design Process and Design Thinking to both senior level managers, corporate leaders, and global customers.
Specialties: Industrial Design, User Experience Design, Usability and Ethnographic Research Methods, Heuristic Evaluation, Managing Creative Design Programs, People/Team/Project Management, Project Planning/Strategy, Presentation Skills, Client/Customer Interface, Production support/liaison
