I thrive working in the trenches, solo or with small teams, building beautiful and useful things that resonate emotionally and deliver tangible impact. I specialize in end-to-end product design, brand identity, creative direction and facilitation, and I'm always seeking out new creative outlets.
My years of experience leading design in-house, agency-side, and working independently with startups uniquely position me to provide the kind of holistic design solutions that might typically be expected to require a larger design firm. Most recently, I spent four years as Head of Design at Fold, building one of the best debit cards in the market (if you ask me). Before that I was fortunate to lead varied and dynamic projects for clients such as Google, Samsung, Mailchimp, & Snap while at Beyond.
