The Concept

My work and philosophy are heavily influenced by Brad Frost's Atomic Design methodology. Designed to "help teams think of their user interfaces as a hierarchical, interconnected set of components".

Over the course of my career, I have found the concepts of this work to apply to how I strategize products and designs, but also how teams work together. When working on a team I consider myself an "atom" of the overall organism. It is the interactions between these atoms that result in oustanding products that are a joy to use.

Experience

I consider myself a DIGITAL GENERALIST. With each new project, I find myself obsessed with design and function of software and hardware products. This can manifest in interface, information architecture, data structures, and leading a team.

Over the years, I have worked on:

  • Product Design, Management, & Strategy
  • Design System & Component Design
  • User Experience Design, & Research
  • Team Leadership & Management
  • Client Consulting
