About
Who I am
We’re all people first before we’re employees. Getting to know someone -their story, where they come from, what excites them outside of work - makes collaboration that much stronger.
I live in beautiful Madison, WI, a proud Midwesterner through and through, but I’ve traveled all over the country. I’m a dad to three amazing, active kids who keep me busy with sports year-round. In the fall, you’ll find me coaching my oldest daughter’s basketball team, helping her develop the same love for the game that I had in high school.
I have a deep passion for coffee and can talk for hours about different brewing methods. When I have free time, I love building furniture in my workshop, snowboarding in the winter (our last trip was to Lake Louise in Banff), and running - I've completed several half-marathons and even a full marathon in Sacramento.
Travel is a big part of my life, but even more so when I get to share it with my kids, showing them the world beyond their neighborhood. I’m also a huge film nerd—give me any movie, and I’ll happily go on about the lighting, special effects, sound design, blocking, and editing.
as an Employee
I’m an easy to get along with, experienced UI/UX Designer, Creative Director, and strategic leader specializing in consumer-facing product design. With over 15 years of expertise spanning startups, enterprise environments, and contract design, I bring a deep understanding of user-centric innovation.
Most recently, I spent over three years at Meta as a Product Designer on the Responsibility and Privacy pillar for Facebook and Instagram, driving solutions that balanced data transparency, user privacy, and business impact. I successfully launched two global ad controls that enhanced privacy protections while increasing revenue and played a key role in onboarding major advertising partners, including Amazon and Shopee, into Meta’s ecosystem. My passion lies in crafting human centric, logic-first, design solutions.
I’m currently open to new opportunities. Let’s connect and see if I’m a good fit for your team!
