Content Concept, Design, Strategy, Production & Implementation

A Technical Creative. Over the past 10+ years, I’ve had roles spanning content strategy, design, illustration, experience, branding and interactive development. I strategize across all phases of the design and marketing lifecycle utilizing the options of enterprise technologies to enable quality design and development at-scale and with continuous delivery. I actively bring together cross-functional teams to optimize for stable, secure, consistent, engaging, context-aware and accessible experiences.

In addition to designing for print, products and websites, I’ve also taught graduate students from 2008 - 2014 Experimental Design, User Experience, and Interactive Development (html, css, js, as, ui, ux, ue, digital design, visual literacy) at Academy of Art University and was an active member of the committee as a professional advisor to grant mid-points and MFA thesis from 2008 to 2014.

I teach for a connection with the community, for the inspired creative energy, and to press the importance of the need for strong, engaging and practical design as our technology continues to evolve and expand at its rapid pace. Design solutions, both visual and technical, are key to accessibility and engagement.

Design and UI/UX can have a deep impact on our future. A solid, in-depth understanding of fundamentals is key to the core of UI/UX design and development. My focus on creative treatment, visual solutions and technical implementation grounded in traditional fundamentals. This is my approach to engaging students in the ever-evolving web/app/new media world.
