CREATIVE DIRECTION / PRODUCT STRATEGY / VISUAL DESIGN
PRODUCT DESIGN / INTERACTION DESIGN / PROTOTYPING
I am a multi-disciplinary design director, product designer, design manager, and creative director with an eye for innovation and awesomeness.
Previously, I directed eBay's Focused Categories Design team — elevating high-engagement product areas for the company's enthusiast buyers. Before that, I designed wearables, mobile devices, tablets, applications, and future concepts for Intel Labs and several other Intel Product Groups. I even spent time crafting digital health products for an Intel + GE joint venture.
Currently, I am sowing the seeds for the next digital revolution directing Cross-Meta Experiences for the company’s family of platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger and more.
(Whoa, that was a mouthful.)
I have worked with some amazing companies and that breadth of experience helped me develop a great balance between user and business needs. My passion lies in leading teams of creative people to deliver amazing experiences that make a dent in the world.
As a former New Yorker now living in Portland, OR, I enjoy the Pacific Northwest with my wife and sons. I speak in pop culture references, I am a terrible cook, and I once played electric guitar on tour with an aging rock band to pay for college.
