My Journey

From Print and Web to Leading Design Teams.

At 10 years old, I knew I wanted to pursue a career in Graphic and Web Design.  After earning my degree in 2010, the world shifted from a focus on print and web which required me to adapt my skills.  This introduced me to UX and UI design which I quickly fell in love with.  I immediately dove head first into learning everything I could about a field that was very new at the time.  More than 12 years later, I continue to evolve my skills and have created design teams and digital products that have positively impacted  businesses and people’s lives.

While I have created some truly amazing things throughout my career, none of it compares to my greatest creation of all: my wonderful family with my wife and daughter.

My Values

How I approach the design thinking process.

Outcome Oriented Design

Empathy for users, business and product needs have an equally important stake for me while designing solutions or leading teams. In addition to the Design Thinking Process, I employ the Jobs-to-be-Done framework based on Outcome Driven Innovation to innovate and measure the impact of design.

Better Together

Extraordinary products can only be created when the knowledge, skills and backgrounds of a cross-functional team are brought together. To achieve this, I leverage the 3 In-A-Box (3-IAB) agile model to drive myself and my teams to create meaningful, productive and strategic partnerships that foster innovation.

Empowerment Leadership

I lead by empowering and enabling my design team and the people around me. To achieve product and team success metrics, I leverage collaborative, consultative, persuasive and transformational leadership styles.

Always Learning

Embracing as well as adapting to change has been a cornerstone of my
values. Currently, I am advancing my leadership skills while geeking-out
in the realm of Artificial Intelligence; exploring my UX process in this
evolving space.
