I am a designer and craftsman with extensive training and experience organizing and visually representing complex systems through user interface design, data visualization, mapping, and visual representation of space.
I'm able to take designs from concept, to mockup, to engaging, discoverable, and responsive HTML/CSS/JavaScript user interfaces. I have successfully built design systems, managed projects, lead design teams, and communicated design concepts to business managers and clients. I enjoy working in teams to create things that are greater than the sum of their parts. I understand that the only way to solve design problems is through iteration: drawing, communicating, critiquing, building, testing, listening, and more drawing.
I have dual master degrees from the University of Pennsylvania School of Design and have worked professionally as a designer in both the virtual realm of the web and the physical realm of landscape architecture and urban design.
I’m driven by a desire to develop equitable interfaces between the virtual and physical worlds that empower individuals and communities to imagine and create sustaining and sustainable living environments.
Outside of work life, I’m a percussionist/multi-instrumentalist in a 7-piece original rock/funk/soul band and a father to a magical 4 year old girl.
