GET TO KNOW ME
About
I view design as a challenge to grow and get better each day. I enjoy learning by doing and leading by example. When it comes to having an external creative outlet outside of work, painting is joy.
MY EXPERIENCE
I bring twenty years of experience in the graphic design industry creating and enhancing consumer brands. I specialized in developing visual identities, creative direction, and project management. I have led private label and co-branding projects with Walmart, CVS, Nestle Waters, Meijer, Arnold Palmer Enterprises, Andy Roddick, and others.

What makes me different than other UX designers?
Having worked for over twenty years, building two graphic design departments, managing people, and working on high-level projects directly with the stakeholders and clients has given me knowledge & insight that can only be gained from doing. Experience is valuable and I have a ton of it.
Are there engaging stories behind any of these case studies?
Yes, for getbetter. I have personally witnessed two-foot surgery patients struggle with recovery. Their doctor only provided them with a piece of paper with written instructions on exercises to do. Both ended up doing them wrong and made them worse. An app like getbetter has the potential to help patients more likely to succeed.
