Faculty

I'm a creative all-rounder who excels (pun intended) at remixing business, design, and technology. I've collaborated with a wide array of companies across different sectors, with valuations ranging from $0 to $500 billion. I have 10+ years of experience working in various creative, innovative, and technology-focused roles with clients across SaaS, consumer packaged goods, e-commerce, retail, financial services/technology, advertisement technology, education technology, and healthcare technology industries. I specialize in working with early-stage technology startups, blue-chip corporations, non-profits, and governmental organizations across the globe.   

My journey began in data analysis, and over time, I've grown into a role as a technical product designer and researcher, with a strong foundation in both web and mobile development technologies. I pride myself on my ability to communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical team members, thanks to my skills in data, design, research, and digital marketing. My academic pursuits have granted me a business undergraduate degree and an economics graduate degree from a leading research-focused design school.  

Most recently, I held the position of Head of Product + Design at Baton Technologies, leading a team in the development of a data-centric project management solution tailored for software companies in the growth and enterprise stages. Under my leadership, Baton Technologies was successfully acquired by ClientSuccess. Currently, I also teach subjects such as Product Design, data-driven strategic thinking, data analytics, and data visualization at prestigious universities and top-tier technology boot camps.
