My Journey from Boardroom to Living Room

I’ve spent nearly twenty years guiding Fortune 500 companies through digital transformation, always with a simple mission: help people get more joy and function from the technology in their lives. Throughout my career, I have performed countless hours of customer research. Over the years, as I came to hear about how people adopted technologies in their homes, I noticed a recurring pattern. People often weren’t experiencing the promises of convenience, efficiency, and peace of mind that technology promised.

Living on both sides of this challenge—frequently as a guest in multi-million dollar estates, and as a homeowner myself—I experienced firsthand the disconnect between what these technologies promised and how they performed, day to day. Beautiful systems sat unused or were reduced to their most basic settings, simply because they were too complicated.

I watched brilliant executives, masters of complexity in the business world, struggle just to play music in their living rooms. Their homes, filled with dazzling automation and integrated controls, became sources of confusion and irritation instead of relaxation.

That’s when it clicked. The same human-centered design principles I used to help businesses could revolutionize how families interact with their homes. I call this philosophy “sophisticated simplicity”—making even the most complex estate feel effortless to live in.

Despite my background advising leaders on cutting-edge technology, I don’t consider myself an early adopter in my own home. My approach is about making technology serve your lifestyle, not taking it over.

My work combines:

• Executive-level project management: Your property is treated like a high-stakes operation requiring precise coordination.
• Human experience design: Systems are tailored to you and your family, fitting naturally into your routines rather than forcing new ones.
• Local intelligence: Each home is as unique as its location—what works in Kentfield may not work in Tahoe or Sonoma. I honor those differences.
• An adaptive service philosophy: I meet you exactly where you are, whether you prefer managing details or want everything taken care of seamlessly.

Every luxury estate is different, and every homeowner’s relationship with their space is deeply personal. My job isn’t to impose systems, but to listen, understand, and quietly engineer the support structures that make your lifestyle shine.

Outside of estate care, I’m also an artist—creativity is at the heart of how I solve problems and see potential where others see puzzles. And as a proud resident of Kentfield, I bring a deep appreciation for the local community and its distinct character.

Today, my passion lies in bridging the gap between sophisticated technology and the dream of effortless luxury living. With the right guidance, even the most advanced property can become what it should always be: a sanctuary, not a source of stress.

I believe technology should be invisible when it’s working properly. My role is to ensure your home’s sophistication serves you—so you can enjoy every space with total peace of mind.
