June 2020. Not my best shot, but a very recent one 😋. I will replace it once I have a chance.

 

I’m a designer, inventor, and innovator. I spent over 20 years at Apple, PayPal, Huawei Consumer, and other firms imagining and creating some of the world’s most beloved consumer products, including groundbreaking software for the Macintosh, iPad, iPhone, and the iCloud ecosystem. 

I’m best known for being part of the effort that invented the original user interface and interactions on the iPhone, and I spearheaded the design and development of Apple’s software for audio, photos, and video. I am named an inventor on many Apple’s patents. As Chief Designer and VP for Huawei Consumer I transformed Huawei’s operating system and the company’s brand. My work’s DNA defines how the world interacts with technology and is driven by my insistence on putting the human experience front and center in the design process. More recently, I was CoFounder of the technology start-up Quoori, and advisor to the Alakai’s Skai, and I am now focused on my new, and stealth, venture.
