In brief…
I’m a designer with 20+ years of experience in visual design and strategic direction for digital products and brand identities. My focus has been on bridging product and brand, to help teams deliver cohesive and intuitive digital experiences.
I care about the craft of design and the process in which design gets done. My passion lies in four main areas:
UI design
I prioritize UX research and defining IA to create visually engaging interactions.
Brand identity
A strength of mine and serves as the starting inspiration point for all visual design.
Design process
Defining how we work to support and help each other succeed in being efficient and effective.
Design Systems
Building and documenting elements that reinforce consistency, aligning form and function.

Working together
I work best with companies and brands that let me provide strategic guidance and contribute tangible work. When considering my next opportunity, I value the following:
Vision
A company with noble goals that I can believe in, but a specific core offering and a clear plan for new features to support growth.
Collaboration
A team that is open-minded, uses and prioritizes research, along with testing ideas (not just validating), before pixel perfection.
Ethics
Good intent followed by good actions. What we create impacts real people, and that impact should be an intentionally positive one.
Workflow
A built-in process for shipping and iterating to deliver quality solutions for the user, before starting the next challenge or feature.
