I'm a senior product designer living and working in Seattle, WA.
Over my nearly 20 year design career, I've spent the last 16 years specializing in user-centered product definition and delivery. I've collaborated with multi-disciplinary teams at Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook, United Healthcare and Nike to develop new software experiences that help people do their best work.
I utilize cross-disciplinary skills in visual and user experience design to create apt solutions that are refined through strategic and aesthetic lenses. Everything you see in this portfolio has been done by me (unless stated otherwise).
I value work environments that foster and uphold cross-discipline collaboration as the path to success. I work to build teams that place trust at the core of their interactions and utilize that to break down silos that perpetuate bad organizational habits and slow team progress and limit success.
Outside of work, I'm a fan of the Seattle Sounders, a new father and slowly finding my way through the Real Book of jazz standards as I learn to play piano.

When I practice design, I live to find the "nugget of truth" every opportunity has. The nugget can be the hidden qualities of the brand or the essential needs that software has yet to address . To find it, you have to draw from varied sources, perceived and collected.
This nugget is often evasive because the intent of a solution isn't driven by any sort of truth.
