I don’t design for fashion,
I design for living.

– Ralph Lauren

About Me

I am a professional design and strategy consultant focused on AI tech and enablement. A veteran of Silicon Valley, I’m also a motorcyclist, photographer, cook, and house DJ.

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. In that time I have worked with clients directly in 15 different countries, and in many cases have spent extended periods in Europe, Australia, and Asia.

My capabilities span UX Research, Concepts, UI Design, Product Design and leveraging AI enabled tools. I am working with startups to develop early brand and product concepts, including developing pitch decks to solicit funding and communicate your vision in high resolution. I also occasionally design vivid digital and 3D physical prototypes.

Client History

I have been fortunate to have worked with some of the most recognized brands in the world in over 15 countries across 4 continents.

Portfolio and case studies

I don’t publish my work on the internet because simply put, there’s just too much to publish and since all of my work has been done as highly confidential and proprietary, it doesn’t make sense. I am more than happy to present anything specific you are interested and answer questions on a zoom call. Please contact me anytime to arrange for a time. Thanks!
