My education and working experience have given me a solid foundation in marketing, technology, and design. I have a BS in economics and experience in design, user experience and development. I have worked with clients including Nike, Microsoft, Nixon, Gogoro, Electronic Arts, Anki, Nextbit, Boa, Bonds, AMP and more.

I rely on a constantly evolving user-centered design process that champions user needs through prototyping, learning and collaboration. I get excited about focused and smart design solutions and my favorite digital experiences are the ones that contain refinements to the things that most people don't notice at first glance. I think good UX conveys emotion and helps define relationships between brands and users.

I was born and raised in Laguna Beach California. I grew up immersed in the arts, sports (mostly soccer) and surf culture. Today I live and work in Portland Oregon with my wife Lauren, my son Everett and my Newfoundland dog Maggie Mae. When not at work, I spend most my time chasing my son around the living room or a ball around the soccer field. I also work on several personal projects including The World’s Game, an ongoing photography collection of soccer pitches around the globe.
