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.

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.
