I work at the intersection of strategy and creativity—helping manufacturer-designers develop great new products and bring them to market. I bring over two decades of experience in buying, new product development, branding and marketing, with expertise in toys and children’s products.

My approach is what I call child-ish. It’s an approach to problem solving that blends the analytical rigor I acquired at Columbia Business School with the creativity I honed at The Rhode Island School of Design. It also reflects my belief that the best design can—and probably should—be influenced by play.

If you are a manufacturer-designer and are looking for help with product development, I’d love to work together.
