About
I live in Denver, CO and I am currently contracting as a Senior Product Designer at Sam’s Club. I was hired to help Sam’s Club design a new mobile POS system that will replace a 40 year old system and help in-store associates and members complete check out in a quick and seamless way.
I have over 10 years of experience designing everything from broadcast motion graphics packages to websites and native mobile apps. My diverse design background allows me to bring a unique perspective on UX and interaction design to create cohesive, end-to-end experiences. I've even written about the importance of motion in UI design a few years back.
When I'm not designing, you can likely find me hanging out at a local Denver dive bar, a metal show, playing volleyball or online sim racing like a big nerd.
