Empathy at the core -
Designing for humans

I’m currently a Senior Product Designer at Praxent, where I handle design and strategy for clients in the financial services sector, helping them modernize software applications. Previously, I was a UX Designer at ClearPathGPS, a B2B2C SaaS company in fleet management, where I led product strategy and design for a large client base. My experience there taught me to balance client objectives with development limitations, delivering solutions that effectively manage vehicles, assets, and teams.

Earlier in my career, I led product initiatives for GPS Insight, focusing on fleet management and field services, and at General Dynamics, where I worked on aerospace and defense projects throughout the product lifecycle. Additionally, I mentor designers through ADPList, offering portfolio consultations and career guidance. Outside work, I enjoy hiking with my two dogs, gardening with my chickens, and spending time with my wife.

Gardener
From seed to kitchen, I’m an avid grower that's always experimenting and finding new herbs to incorporate.

Discussing movies is another love of mine. I even collect the ticket stub for every movie, show or concert. Connect with me on Letterboxd.

Musician
Not only do I enjoy going to shows and connecting with others in the community but I also have a joy for playing. Connect with me on Concert Archives.

Even though I enjoy creating digital art; my roots always go back to the physical forms.
