Industry with art
is brutality

With over 20 years in design, I began my creative journey studying graphic design at the University of Akron and PNCA in Portland. From Nike to T-Mobile, Allrecipes, startups, and Bowlero, I've crafted compelling experiences that delivered results.

Noteworthy achievements include leading the design of
T-Mobile's My Account app which reached the number one spot on the Android marketplace. At WEconnect, I contributed to meaningful work—aiding those overcoming substance abuse through innovative design.

Outside the design realm, catch me singing top 40 hits in divey karaoke bars, running my own D&D campaign, or spending time with my two cats named Loki and Thor.
