I've built my career on doing what others said couldn't be done.

Fresh out of journalism school, I spent a few years doing odd jobs while freelancing as a writer and photographer. Eventually, I moved from the U.S. to France, where I stumbled into the web industry and learned design and development. It was the early days of the web, when we were all just making it up as we went. Arguably, we still are.

Clients would tell me how some other web developer said that what they wanted couldn’t be done. I built my career on that challenge, and spent the next 17 years creating websites for businesses of all shapes and sizes. I worked across a variety of industries, including sports, entertainment, and textiles, and had a brief dalliance with an e-commerce venture. If you’d like to hear more about these formative years, check out my presentation entitled, Doing it Wrong.

In early 2017, I joined the talented people at Human Made, makers of Altis DXP, first as a Senior Project Manager and now as Director of Delivery. I have a passion for creating safe and sustainable working environments in which remote, cross-disciplinary teams can unleash their full potential.  

I’m also a former lead organizer of WordCamp Paris and WordCamp Europe, and have spoken at a number of events on subjects as varied as multilingual publishing and current trends in customizable products.
