About Me.
I’ve been designing experiences for over 15 years, working with fantastic people and building experiences used by millions of people.
I love figuring out how to impact the real world through technology, shaping intentional, humane, human-centered things, not cul de sacs that separate us from one another.
I come from a line of farmers and engineers, and am a systems-thinker and tool-builder to my core. I see the act of tinkering and building as core practices for learning about and mastering our selves: through the continuous facing of challenges without obvious solutions we learn who we are and what matters to us.
I’m a rower, build things out of wood, bake biscotti, listen to radio stations across the globe. My best thoughts happen while in discussion and in motion. I treasure every moment with my family.

What people I’ve worked with have to say about me.
“I hire you specifically because you’re not a pixel-pusher—I hire you for the way you think, and for the way you make sense of the problem space.”
“You’re able to jam on ideas, while staying strategic and also true to the impact on customers and numbers. IMHO, you run circles around some of the folks on the team.”
