Senior Visual Designer at Moveworks

About

I'm the designer who shows up early, stays late on the details, and makes the brand look like it means business — whether that's a 40-foot event wall or a single email header. Over 20 years I've worked across enterprise tech, fintech, and consumer brands doing the work that actually ships: event graphics, campaign assets, sales decks, brand systems, digital and print production. I've rebranded a company mid-acquisition, built design systems in Figma from zero, and produced creative for stages like Salesforce Dreamforce. Currently part of small team of Senior Visual Designers within the Moveworks-to-ServiceNow experimenting with AI-powered design workflows that make high-quality creative move faster. I hold a U.S. design patent, a BFA from San Jose State, and a reputation for being the calm, reliable creative who delivers under pressure. Ask me about my martial arts gloves.
