Fun and energizing is where great experiences begin.
I’ve spent most of my career in design and multimedia. I’ve led concept and experience design, as well as media production teams at larger orgs like Disney and Google, and been a startup founder at Techstars. I love a product that returns a designer’s emotion back to the world.

INDIVIDUALLY SELECTED PIECES
Awarded a Gold Regional ADDY, featured on TechCrunch, Google's Design blog, and with over 90,000 views on Google Web Designer's YouTube Channel, this was a fun short piece to work on.

The AIGA Orlando Mentorship pairs the most passionate design students with leading industry professionals to help refine their skills and prepare them for a career in a creative field. During the program, the students work on a self-promotional project that is displayed in a showcase (SPOT) at the end of the program. The SPOT showcase is attended by everyone: design professionals, students and family members. During the showcase, people use “spot” stickers to vote for their favorite project. At the end of the showcase, a winner is chosen.
