Mentor aspiring designers with portfolio reviews and career advice on a volunteer basis.

SEASONS provides on-demand fitness training for the outdoor sports community, built by pro trainers, guided by pro athletes, and accessed via a smartphone app. I advise the team on customer and product experiences.

In my independent design practice, I partner with ambitious startups and established companies that are ready to take their next big step. I typically play lead roles across product, design, and creative. Additionally, I often help coach founders on how to build design-led companies. My focus areas are AI, crypto/blockchain, creative tooling, and climate tech.

I co-founded Caravel and built a B2B conversational intelligence platform that surfaces actionable learnings from customer conversations using natural language processing and machine learning. Part of the Techstars Seattle ‘20 cohort. Acquired by Commsor in June ‘22.

I led the design practice in an experimental creative group within the agency called Lodge. Our goal was to help brands explore novel ways to connect and communicate with their customers through experiential storytelling and digital products. I guided our design practice, mentored teammates, and partnered with our clients at Nike, Samsung, Coca-Cola, Intuit, KFC, and Anki Robotics.

I co-founded Flavor to focus on digital products and brand experiences. We built a small team that worked in-house with startups and established companies to help them bring their concepts to market. Our team was acquired by Wieden+Kennedy Portland to build a design and technology offering for their clients.

I was an adjunct professor teaching Interactive Media & Motion Design for the Department of Art & Art History. I set the curriculum and taught juniors/seniors for two Winter quarters.

I was responsible for evaluating interactive work with my fellow judges on a daily cadence.

I wanted to get closer to the metal when it came to coming up with campaigns and seeing them through production. I also got a chance to do this with some of the best agencies in the world and learn how important storytelling is in communications.

After a brief internship, I was hired on as a Flash designer/developer working in the “digital” department of the agency. Immersive website as my focus in those years and my interest shifted to art direction over development.
