From 2016 to 2019 I directed design at Hudl. I looked after both product and brand.

I established the design language behind Uniform, Hudl’s design system.

I provided direction for the evolution of visual brand.

In 2013, I cofounded a startup called Pack.

Pack is for people who love dogs. Creating a product that people loved to love with an amazing team was an absolute joy.

Updating the homepage was one of the most rewarding projects I worked on while at Pack.

From 2006 to 2013, I ran a digital design and dev shop called What Cheer.

We worked with organizations ranging from startups to Fortune 500s. We also found time to create a number of side projects.

I’m most valuable on projects that have an overlap of product/brand strategy, experience design, and visual design.

Product/Brand Strategy + experience Design + Visual Design Venn Diagram
  • Product/Brand Strategy

    What? Who? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? How? I’ll help you ask the right questions.

  • Experience Design

    Let’s wear someone else’s shoes for a while and make them as comfortable as possible.

  • Visual Design

    Using only colors, shapes, typography, and photographs … VOILA! Real human emotions!

Over the years, I’ve worked with a lot of great people.

I’ve worked with fancy brands, have won fancy awards and my work has been featured in fancy places. This fanciness makes my mom proud.

I enjoy meeting new people and figuring out how I can help them. Maybe you need help with something, too?
