EXPERIENCE
Over the course of my career, I have had the opportunity to work with big and small companies as a consultant and on staff. I've worked on early stage conceptual products and entrenched long-standing products. I've had the chance to dive deep into design, human-centered research, product management, team leadership, small business ownership...I've even messed around with lasers!
All these experiences have made me a better designer and leader and working partner. I want to share my experiences with you!

MISCELLANEOUS STUFF
I've got a bunch of other odds and ends that are pretty interesting. From logos and illustrations to fancy laser cut plywood six pack boxes!
