CREATIVE DIRECTOR + USER EXPERIENCE DIRECTOR / DESIGNER + DIGITAL INNOVATOR
I am a creative director, UX/UI designer, team leader, and creative partner. I have built the digital dreams of clients ranging from global enterprises like the Ford Motor Company, to beloved institutions like the Georgia O’keeffe Museum in Santa Fe. Over the course of my career I have developed a deeply-rooted belief in the power of creativity and human-centered design to invent novel experiences that delight the heart, engage the mind, and respect the human spirit.
This website includes a sampling of my favorite projects from recent years, but there is much more. If you share my passion and would like to work together, please get in touch.
