Profile

I'm a versatile multidisciplinary designer navigating the intersection of digital products and brand experiences, utilizing systems as a bridge. Over the years, I've collaborated with a diverse range of clients, spanning from small businesses to global organizations. With a results-oriented mindset, my focus lies in the development and refinement of brands, and digital products always fueled by the power of collaboration.

15+ years of expertise in designing and building consumer experiences globally, I've crafted interfaces and leveraged visual design practices, grounded in a holistic understanding of user experience. This approach has allowed me to elevate digital products with purpose and innovation.

My work, driven by craftsmanship and user-first thinking, has empowered fast-paced teams to launch systems at scale, specializing in conceiving branded interactive transformations seamlessly connected to services, products, and data.

In my spare time, I find joy in practicing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Capoeira and Mixed Martial Arts. You'll often catch me playing my strat, hosting a 'churrasco', exploring the scenic trails of Minnesota, and, most importantly, surrounded by my beloved wife and children.

Currently working as Interactive Art Director at  Apple—via Magnit.
