Latest work

Thanks to my experience working with leading professionals in the design, engineering, and product disciplines, I have gained a tremendous amount of wisdom and knowledge regarding user experience design, design thinking, design systems, and design operations. The projects below showcase my expertise, leadership, and ability to develop compelling user solutions. They also highlight how I bring together product management, engineering, and design teams to work cohesively to achieve goals and objectives.

My passion for utilizing design thinking to solve complex problems drives my approach to each solution I'm tasked with creating.

I have work with some brilliant and talented designers, product managers, engineering leaders, small business owners, and entrepreneurs.  With each experience I have gained a tremendous amount of wisdom and knowledge.  This started with my first job as a designer, where I helped a talented team at Fidelity Investments implement their first Intranet site.

I also worked as a freelance designer working for national agencies.  I gained a lot of success being the Creative Lead on national campaigns with major brands.  I later started my own successful digital creative agency, where I was Head of Design  for over 6 years. I was fortunate to work with clients like Amazon, Disney, Sony, and Canon.

I have spent years honing my craft as a designer in both visual design and user experience design. I thrive best in situations that allow me to draw on my years of experience utilzing a combination of visual and UX design with understanding the needs of the user. I am able to find impactful and relevant solutions by focusing on the user and ensuring the design best meets the objectives the product and user are trying to achieve.

Most recently I have been working with the talented people who have been creating some of the brilliant products in the software industry.  I enjoyed my journey this far, and I know another adventure awaits. See what some of those great people say about their experiences working with me over the years. I think that they would agree that I am a hard charging design lead with the strong interpersonal and technical skills needed to deliver outstanding solutions which meet, and surpass customer expectations.
