I'm a design professional with 20 years of experience. I've managed multidisciplinary creative teams and designed for large consumer sites like AOL and EarthLink at the heights of their influence, and I've been a creative jack-of-all-trades for startups in the entertainment and consumer spaces. I've done everything from user interface and user experience, to illustration and video, to usability and focus groups, to roadmaps for technology, product, and brand direction. I'm passionate about great design, compelling brand experiences, and making technology accessible to everyone.

Skills
Design
I've done everything from brand identity, consumer product packaging, sportswear, promotional videos, software design - if you can put a design on it, I've done it.
Direction
I understand that not everyone communicates the same way creatives do. I work with stakeholders to understand their needs and work with creatives to positively effect change.
Management
I've managed large teams across multiple disciplines and worked with the highest levels of management to support and achieve goals.
UI/UX
The heart of every experience. Product flows, user acquisition analysis, usability research - the nuts and bolts of the product design process.
Illustration
I started my career as an illustrator and still continue to develop my skills both personally and professionally.
And More!
I've also led design panels at conventions, helped research scientists secure NIH grants, and even designed skateboard decks. There's not much in this business I haven't done, and I'm always eager for a new challenge.
