It's the About Me Page
I'm a digital design specialist with over 17 years of experience. I spent a decade in digital ad agencies as a designer and art director before moving client side. Shifting gears into a product design role I leaned more into design heuristics, UX methodologies, and iterative design processes. That's my secret sauce, that blend of art direction experience, UX/UI principles, and a customer first mentality that helps me consistently create experiences that exceed expectations.
As a lead I've helped grow and define design as a practice, cultivated relationships both internally and externally, and continually strive to evolve our digital experiences. Working across massive corporations and independent 50 person shops, I've navigated processes that range from precisely prescribed to ambiguous & elusive.

Outside of work I'm a father of one, a foodie, a pop culture dork, a video game enthusiast, and an amateur guitarist.
Fun Facts:
○ I've hiked up Mt. Fuji and eaten kobe beef in Kobe
○ I was a background extra in a Canadian musicians music video (can you guess which one?)
○ I started learning guitar because I was playing too much Guitar Hero
○ I used to stage dive and be in the mosh pit at punk and ska shows in tiny (dirty) venues
