My Experience

Finfare - Senior UX/UI Designer - As the first full time designer for this financial tech startup, I created a design system of standardized components for more efficient designs down the line. I also helped launch the initial product: a SaaS financial platform for issuing and managing corporate charge cards

Happy Returns by Paypal - Senior UX Designer - As the sole designer for the warehouse management and shipping logistics team. I designed operations software for web, touch screen kiosk, and mobile scanner to facilitate the processing of over a million items each month across 3 warehouses. These systems enabled the company to scale and meet its enterprise customer’s needs. I conducted user research and interviews to ensure the system worked best for those using it, preventing bottlenecks and system failures.

Restaurant 365 - Senior UX Designer - I designed and implemented a new Material Design inspired system, including accounting and financial dashboards, reports, advanced reporting generators, and general ledger tables. I also designed restaurant operations software for web and mobile that included calendars, chat, and shift swapping.

Blue Label Labs - Senior Product Designer - At this creative agency, I worked with a large variety of teams to create products for both enterprise and consumer apps in healthcare, gig economy, pharmaceutical, dating, events, and more. I traveled the country to host in-person weeklong Design Sprints where we would progress from idea to prototype in just 5 days. Communication, teamwork, collaboration, user interviews, and flexibility were keys to success.

About Me

I live in Orange County, California with my wife Molly, daughter Ella, and border collie Watson. Before I started my career in design, I played bass and sang in an indie-rock band in Los Angeles called The Space Race.

I have a diverse range of interests, which makes me an asset to teams in a variety of industries. My current hobbies include cooking, writing, film, music, and board games. Having a disabled daughter has also made me very interested in the healthcare, pharmaceutical, and insurance industries.

I am flexible, a hard worker, and dedicated to making the best product possible, no matter what it is. A good product is one that generally makes its user’s life easier. I like making things work smoothly, and above all, I really like helping people.
