Career Highlights
(05)
A Career Across Startups, Leadership, Education, and Impact
From helping grow a Silicon Valley startup grow into a publicly listed global company — to teaching the next generation of designers, my work is grounded in the belief that creativity can drive meaningful change.
From Startup to Publicly Listed Co.
1
In 2014, I joined Mokriya, a small Silicon Valley startup. As an early hire, I helped evolve the company from a mobile development studio into a design-led product studio. Mokriya was later acquired by global technology firm Nagarro (19k+ colleagues across 39 countries), where I was promoted to Managing Director. In 2021, Nagarro became publicly listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.

Crafting Experiences People Love

Throughout my career, I’ve focused on designing products and experiences people genuinely value. I work closely with teams to understand users, clarify product vision, and translate ideas into thoughtful, well-crafted digital experiences.

Training the Next Gen of Design Leaders

I care deeply about the future of the design field and the people entering it. For more than a decade, I’ve taught undergraduate and graduate courses at the Maryland Institute College of Art and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, covering subjects from Design Thinking and Typography to User Experience Design.

Design for Social Change
4
Before joining Nagarro, I served as Design Director at Organizing for Action. There, I led the organization’s rebrand, the relaunch of barackobama.com, and a range of advocacy and campaign initiatives. Much of the work was created in rapid response to current events and reached millions of people while advancing OFA’s grassroots mission. Using design to create social impact has been a core part of my work for more than half of my career.
