// about

The vision to imagine new innovations — and the experience to make them real.

I'm a creative technology leader, creative director, and product manager. For fifteen years I've led cross-functional teams — designers, engineers, writers, artists — building augmented and virtual reality that turns real places into experiences people step inside.

I founded Early-Adopter (acquired by The Glimpse Group, NASDAQ: GGRP, 2018) and co-created Membit, the easiest no-code AR tool on the market. I'm available to help companies take products from idea to prototype and prototype to finished — and to advise on strategy, messaging, and the coming AR/VR shift.
