Hello! I’m Theresa, a design leader specializing in creating products that empower startups and global brands to connect with their audience, drive growth, and stand out. Most recently, I led product design at Dolby. Previously, I've shipped impactful experiences for notable brands such as Adobe, Apple, American Express, Delta Airlines, PayPal, SoundCloud, Wells Fargo, and more—directly or through various design agencies.
