UX, print, and design management - I have a high level of skill ranging from 200+ page magazine layout and output to 500+ page websites integrating a large number legacy databases across multiple platforms, mobile application development, and responsive design. I have directly managed 25 designers, and indirectly managed as many as 120 person companies. I have played a key role in the turn around of multiple companies, and always enjoy a deep dive in to qualitative user centered design work.

Work Experience
Nurun China
Director of Design and User Experience
Internal management and development of the "Digital Utility" practice at the Shanghai office - a key Nurun differentiator. A few month stint as Interim Operations Director, my focus was on growing and directly managing a team of 20 web, UX, and interaction designers.
2011 was a year focusing on regrouping and reinvigorating the design department. The painfully high turnover in design was completely arrested, and new top notch talent was recruited, awards were won, and morale was dramatically increased. Process was slowly introduced into the team with a structure that allowed for all the personalities to exercise their individual strengths.
Clients: TAG Heuer, Chivas Regal 12, Chivas 18, Chivas J&J, Chivas 25, Martell Nobilge, Martell Cordon Bleu, FAW-VW, L'Oreal, Dukan
2011 iResearch Award for China’s Best Brand Marketing Website
