I'm a creative director and designer based in Laguna Beach CA. I currently lead global brand design at Dialpad where I'm lucky to work with talented, driven, and friendly humans. I believe in the power of design thinking, diversity, data and collaboration. My focus at Dialpad is on building a design practice at scale and I'm happiest when uncomfortable design decisions are reinforced by user data.
Design found me. I set out to become an artist or an athelete and eventually realized that the design process was the magic that helped me connect the things I love. I have degrees in Marketing & Art History. I’m a self taught front-end developer and I'm obsessed with the possibilities of design + technology. I live with my wife, two boys and Newfoundland in Laguna Beach CA. Hit me up for a coffee if your in the neighborhood.
This site is always in beta. I make it an annual ritual to re-design, learn new technologies and push myself in new directions. I'm a big fan of figma and designing in the browser. The font is Everett (not named after my son but partially selected for this reason) by Nolan Paparelli.
This site is built on the Jamstack with Gatsby. Most of the sketches are done with P5.js.
Feel free to reach out about collaborations
