About

Self-starter. Fast learner. Reliable teammate.

Twenty years with Fortune 100 teams, startups and everyone between.

Low drama, high standards, and a teammate you can count on.

What sets me apart

  1. I obsess over how
    it works and feels.

    I start with the users: their goals, their workflows, their pain points. Then I work through every detail of layout, type, interaction and motion until it feels clear, intuitive and delightful.

  2. Design that doesn’t
    stop at the screen.

    Physical products, immersive spaces, enterprise software and consumer apps, and the work where they overlap.

  3. Proven with
    Fortune 100 teams.

    I work side by side with strategists, engineers and clients, in fast-moving teams. I share the work early, test it together and change course when the work calls for it.

  1. Aqualocka · Arc-Zone · Cynergy 2005–2014

    Where it started.

    Before software, I designed and sold a surf product of my own. Arc-Zone gave me my foundation in storytelling, across video, web, and print, and at Cynergy I carried both into complex software.

    • Learned storytelling across video, web, and print at Arc-Zone.
    • Carried both into complex software at Cynergy.

  2. KPMG Advisory & XDE 2014–2019

    Big clients, real products.

    At KPMG, I learned to move between business goals, client conversations, and the details a team needs to build. In XDE, that became shipped products for healthcare decision support, patient access, commercial lending, and sports scheduling, made clear through prototypes.

  3. KPMG Ignition & Living Labs 2019–2026

    Take the experience beyond the screen.

    KPMG Ignition is the firm’s innovation center, and Living Labs are its immersive client spaces, where leaders come to see emerging technology at work. I helped build out and develop the early concept, from the Garage in Chicago to what became Living Labs, bringing interaction, motion, and spatial design together in workshops, large screens, and room-scale experiences. I turned long reads, proposals, and future visions into stories people could watch, scroll, and step into.

  4. An evolving practice 2025–now

    Keep expanding what’s possible.

    I learn new tools through hands-on experimentation, then put them to work: faster prototypes, stronger craft, and ideas I couldn’t have made before.
