My background is rooted in smart user-centered product design, with a heavy emphasis on creative problem solving through heuristic addressing process and experimentation, detailed and practiced research methodology, and data-driven decision making.
In short, my goal is to solve problems.
I’ve excelled at addressing product and organizational challenges to drive positive outcomes — specifically in delivering innovative 0-1, end-to-end solutions in the face of highly complex, regulatory, and process heavy industries.
I attempt to go beyond just designing aesthetic and functional UI’s. I believe good product design should work in lockstep to understand, problem solve, and further an organizations goals to maximize results within an organizations limitations.
I spent the first part of design career also freelancing in NY working in commercial post production and composition. I learned how to work autonomously, meet extreme deadlines, and how to understand the end customer/audience to deliver results. My work made me the designer I am. I genuinely love what I do, and strive to craft experiences that have a tangible, positive impact.
Outside of my work, I enjoy hiking, training working line dogs, travel, being creative, and generally keeping active.
