A design and creative leader who still builds.

Two decades turning fragmented products, brands, and teams into clarity and momentum. I work where brand, product, and engineering meet — design systems, AI experience, and shipping the actual thing. Currently Director of Product Design at SPOTIO, and founder of ORGKLOO and Cubby.

Collaborating with Excellence

PAST / PRESENT / FUTURE

Journey Through Time
Past
I came up through the craft — architecture first, then visual communications at Southern Illinois University. The lesson that stuck: great design is resourceful problem-solving. Find the real constraint, then build something that genuinely works.
Present
Today I lead product design and AI experience at SPOTIO, and I build my own products — ORGKLOO and Cubby — with the same tools my teams use. I bridge brand, product, and engineering: design systems, next-best-action AI, and shipping. I don't just direct the work; I still make it.
Future
I'm focused on building design-led, AI-native organizations — embedding user-centered culture and giving teams tools that compound. The goal never changes: clarity, momentum, and people doing their best work.

COMMUNITY

Giving back to the design community matters to me — through portfolio reviews, mentorship, and speaking. I care about lifting up the next generation of designers as much as the work itself.

LIFELONG LEARNING

I've built on a BFA in Visual Communications with continuous learning — IDEO design thinking, Red Hat Open Innovation Labs, and Scrum Alliance (Certified Agile Leadership). I fold new methods and tools into how I lead, so my teams stay ahead instead of catching up.
