Early 30s male, seeks interesting problem to solve.
For the past 12+ years, I've been leading product design teams, agencies, startups, freelancing and evening building my products (including my own home on wheels).
Currently, I'm helping companies create great products, building an amazing team, implementing simple project strategies and a whole lot more.
Design
I strive to create simple, target audience-oriented, and scalable product experiences. As for UX, I analyze the best UX practices in order to tune them to the target audience, creative experiences that grow businesses and people love to use.
Strategy
All projects need to start with a strong foundation and a team that is aligned with what it is they are creating. I believe that strategy should sit core within everything great project and all UX, VX, copy choice, etc. should be heavily informed from the get-go.
Mentor
For the past 6 years I've had the pleasure of building design teams across various companies, as well as implementing best practises and processes, to ensure that these teams are successful in each and every project.
Services
Creative direction, UX design, UI design, product design, strategy, branding, print design, photography, videography, motion design, animation, art direction, and web development.
