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.
