A little about me.
I care about the details that make an experience feel effortless, and I’m at my best working through a problem that doesn’t have an obvious answer.
§01Professional
I design where systems, people, and decisions meet.
I’m a Product designer based in Missouri with experience across agency, in-house, and institutional environments. I’ve worked with brands like T-Mobile and WongDoody, and I’m currently at Missouri S&T, where I help lead product design across multiple university websites.
I care about the details that make an experience feel effortless, and I’m at my best when I’m working through a problem that doesn’t have an obvious answer. Whether I’m collaborating with a cross-functional team or leading a project on my own, I focus on work that creates real impact for real people.
§02Personal
Off the clock.
Sports
A lot of my time goes to sports. I grew up playing and watching football and basketball, and that love never really went anywhere. These days it mostly shows up in fantasy football, which I got way too into, so I ended up building a side project called Lineara around it: a fantasy football draft assistant that re-scores the board every pick with an AI coach.
I’m a Kansas City Chiefs guy, and on the NBA side I’m a Celtics fan. There wasn’t a home team where I grew up, so I latched onto Paul Pierce as my favorite player, and I’ve stuck with the Celtics ever since.
Music
Music is on for pretty much everything I do. I’ll listen to just about anything: rap, indie, rock, pop, it doesn’t matter. What’s playing usually depends on the mood, whether I’m heads-down on a project, gaming with friends, or just driving with nowhere to be.
If you want a sense of my taste, the tracks on repeat below are a pretty honest snapshot of what’s been in rotation lately.
Gaming
I’m also a gamer, mostly FPS stuff like CS2, COD, and Apex, though I’ve gotten into TFT here and there too. I like the competitive side of it, but honestly some of the best nights are the ones where nobody cares about winning and you’re just messing around with friends.
Animals, travel & dreams
I’ve got a dog who’s a big part of my life, and I’d love to have more animals someday. The big dream is a few weeks in Italy, working my way from small countryside towns down to Rome and the Colosseum. I’m really into history, so that trip would be as much about soaking that in as anything else.
Somewhere on the list: a 1968 Mustang fastback, and a move somewhere closer to the beach, trading tornadoes and Midwest winters for nicer weather year-round.
