From my first job waiting tables in a small town in Colorado, to thinking about the globalization of an automotive company with almost 200,000 employees worldwide… my whole career has been focused on how to make the human experience better.
My capabilities span UX Research, Concepts, UI Design, and Product Design. I am also working with startups to develop early brand and product concepts that are communicated as pitch decks to solicit funding and communicate your vision in high resolution.
User Experience Strategy & Design
My methods and process were developed and evolved from working with some of the most talented designers in the industry. My baseline process involves discovery, concept, design, and execution. In larger more complex projects that are mission critical, this can be a multi-month process, but if you’re just trying to create a concept, it can also be done rapidly in only a few weeks.
My range includes everything from working at a Home Depot to learn about how people choose faucets, to designing a 400 screen prototype for a digital camera interface. I’m also capable of working with teams on the ground, all the way across to the C Suite.
Pitch Decks & Presentations
If you’re an early stage start up looking for funding, or want to communicate your vision in the form of a high quality presentation, this is for you. I have worked with everything from back of the napkin, to full fleshed out business plans. My process is based on researching what works and doesn’t work, and includes a prep bootcamp that will get you ready for the big presentation.
Client History
I have been fortunate to work with some of the most recognized brands in the world.
