THIS WHOLE THING IS A JANKITY
WORK IN PROGRESS BUT NO
ONE SHOULD BE SEEING THIS
NOW SO WHO CARES?
CLEARLY, ME. SO DON'T JUDGE.

WHO I AM
I'm a Mississippi native and multidisciplinary product development leader who thrives on messy problems — whether building a vision for a new product category, untangling complex UX systems, or navigating a four-wheeler through a mud hole.
WHAT YOU'LL FIND HERE
I work across strategy, design, engineering, and research — connecting dots, shaping direction, and building the systems that ensure good ideas go the distance. From a Calvin Klein purse to a Cricut consumer laser cutter, to a rural "startup factory" with MIT, these projects highlight the wins, stumbles, and learnings from the many hats I’ve worn in hardware, software, and academia.
HOW I LEAD
My best outcomes haven't come from informed design or elegant engineering alone — they required a big vision, an aligned team, a culture of trust and creativity, and leadership that knows when to guide and when to get out of the way. I bring clarity to ambiguity, enthusiasm to complexity, and joy to challenge.
