What I bring to the table
Boasting more than 15+ years of design experience with high-end clients such as BMO, Major League Baseball, United Airlines, Playboy, Sears, and Chicago Tribune, I bring a wealth of UX product design experience to immediately impact iterative UX design initiatives in order to achieve best-in-class results. I bring a low-ego and highly collaborative approach to daily UX workflow. The power of great UX lays within the strength of many minds hailing from different backgrounds and areas of expertise.
Big brands, agencies, startups… the full gamut of UX product experience
A proud honors graduate of Columbia College Chicago, I cut my teeth in the design world by diving head first into world of advertising agencies by working with Akimbo Group - a packaging design affiliate of Publicis Group. I gained first hand experience in the rigorous and fast paced environment of the agency world where I worked with big brand clients such as Marlboro, Sara Lee, and Major League Baseball. Thanks to that experience, I crafted my approach to design to be able to solution and produce design artifacts at a high pace without sacrificing quality and detail.
Following my valuable experience in the agency world, I concentrated my efforts in working with several in-house design teams for big brands such as Chicago Tribune, Playboy, Sears, BMO, and United Airlines.
I also have vital experience working in the highly dynamic and fast paced world of startups by helping Kindly Human iterate and scale their existing applications into a powerhouse suite of products for their valued users.
You could say I’ve seen it all, but I’d like to think I’ve seen a lot with much more curiosity to see and learn more!
