HOLA!

I'm a product and service designer, researcher, force multiplier, and collaborator. I'm also a music and technology obsessive, a living room DJ, motorsports enthusiast, a knowledge curator, and a relentlessly curious and empathic human.
Today, I lead a small team of designers at Kiavi, a hard money lender that is helping to revitalize the thousands of aged homes across the United States. We make complex things efficient and satisfying to use, and it’s an interesting challenge in an equally challenging industry.
I have been designing for digital products since 2010 and have enterprise and start up service design experience in a variety of industries. Healthcare, financial services, e-commerce, non-profit, marketing automation, and human capital management are some examples.
I love to observe & listen, to question & hypothesize, to learn, and to iterate. In the future I'd like to see a world seamlessly integrating technology, privacy, and nature. But NOT Skynet. Far out, right? Maybe, but maybe not.

Talk to me about: ux, art, music, design, architecture, record collecting, hiking, sustainable living, healthcare and rehabilitation, cooking & dining, almost any type of motorsport, all things Porsche, video games, cybersecurity, home networking, fabrics and textiles, handmade goods, open source intelligence, the future of cannabis, aerospace, science, or even cryptozoology. And probably a lot of other stuff too.

Life these days

I live in Michigan in a 1950's ranch house with my wonderful wife. We're both fortunate to work from home, which should make it easier to make updates  - we're always finding new projects to work on together. Our rascally dog Stan completes our home at the moment. It's a comfortable life that I am very thankful for.

I enjoy listening to and searching for music, playing video games, traveling, back country camping, and feeling the warmth of the sun on the California coast. In the near future I'm looking forward to renovating our new home and cultivating our back yard into a place we can grow food and flowers and watch our animals run around. And and of course, the Porsche.
