Industry with art
is brutality
With over 20+ years of design experience, my creative journey began with studying graphic design at the University of Akron and then PNCA (Pacific Northwest College of Art) in Portland. I've had the privilege of crafting impactful experiences for a diverse range of companies, from industry giants like Nike and T-Mobile to innovative national brands like Bowlero.
A career highlight was leading the design of T-Mobile's My Account app, which proudly reached the number one spot on the Android marketplace. My work at WEconnect allowed me to make a meaningful impact, aiding individuals overcoming substance abuse through thoughtful, user-centered design.
Outside of work, you might find me belting out top 40 hits at divey karaoke bars, leading an epic D&D campaign, or hanging out with my two cats, Loki and Thor.
