About Me
As a design-focused leader with over 10 years of experience in UX and product development, I have built and led teams to deliver innovative solutions for more than 60 products for major corporations and organizations including T. Rowe Price, The Wendy’s Company, Under Armour, Exelon Corporation, Dewalt, and AOL.
I specialize in applications design, employing user-centered design methodologies to detail the full functionality of products, from complex features, to edge cases and error handling. I enjoy solving usability problems and nurturing a product from an idea to a fully designed system, ensuring that all products are intuitive and enjoyable to use while adhering to current design paradigms and best practices.
I live in the Baltimore-Washington area with my wife and two children. I’m a strong believer in UX education, having taught a master’s level course at the Maryland Institute College of Art. I enjoy getting outdoors and camping, hitting the beach, or finding a nearby trail. When I’m not with friends and family, I can be found playing video games or reading science fiction.
