I build design teams the way I design products — by understanding people, untangling complexity, and caring about the details.

How I Work
Design Philosophy
As a designer, I believe great design starts with understanding. Before I solve anything, I work to find the root problem, so what I create makes a lasting difference.
I validate before I commit. I test ideas early and often with real people, scaling my approach to fit each project's timeline and limits.
I aim to find the solution that serves both the people who use our products and the business behind them. Success means users feel capable and the business moves forward.
Managerial Philosophy
As a UX Design Manager, my mission is to cultivate an environment of trust and collaboration where team members feel empowered to innovate and thrive.
I lead with compassion, prioritizing the well-being and growth of my team, while fostering stability through a clear vision, dependable processes, and thoughtful decision making.
With a spirit of hope, I aim to maintain a positive outlook on the future of our projects and the careers of my team members, driving progress and shared success.
More About Me
I'm curious by nature, enjoy a challenge, and love most things creative. A lot of what I do outside work comes back to that.
I was accepted into the Lux Choral Society in 2021, and am now president of the men's chorus. We are a high caliber group that memorizes and performs challenging music.
I love resource management and strategy board games, particularly Dominion. I like weighing tradeoffs, planning a few moves ahead, and trying new things to see what works. It's the same thinking I use to plan a project.
My wife, Christi, and I are renovating our home ourselves, with two kids and two cats underfoot. It's a joy to see our vision come together, and I love the satisfaction of building something with my own hands.
When I'm not doing any of that, I'm reading, running, hiking, or finding a way to be near water.
I'm looking for my next design lead role.
