I'm a UX/UI designer and full-stack engineer with a passion for bridging the gap between design and functional code.
I was born and raised in Illinois, and creativity has been at the heart of everything I do. Music and audio production was my first major creative interest. I started an audio mastering business at 16, which led me to build my first website. That project sparked my love for web design that has shaped my entire career, and ultimately me as a person.
My professional journey began with freelance work in 2015, leading to my role as Lead Product Designer at FundEasy in 2019. There, I led the company through a complete rebrand, rebuilt our design system in Figma (from Sketch) with full component parity to our codebase, and redesigned our entire product suite across web and mobile. The platforms I designed helped tens of thousands of users raise tens of millions of dollars for nonprofits around the globe.
In 2023, I made a deliberate shift to deepen my development expertise. I wanted to understand both sides of the coin and to be equally fluent in design thinking and technical implementation. Since then, I've taken on hybrid design-engineering roles where I handle the complete product lifecycle. From UX research and wireframing to high-fidelity design and full-stack development. At Powersport Share, a peer-to-peer marketplace for powersport vehicle rentals, I designed and built the entire platform which included features such as in-app messaging systems and income dashboards. More recently, at Vanguard Digital Media Group, I created fully-featured employee only ecommerce platforms with role-based access and custom payment systems for issued credits and Stripe payments from concept to production.
Throughout my career, I've also worked as Worship and Tech Director at my church, managed CNC and CAD work as a machinist, and continued creating music. I'm a lifelong learner and creative who thrives on mastering new skills, whether that's a new design system, a programming language, or a creative pursuit.
When I'm not designing or coding, you'll find me in Colorado with our 5-year-old pit-lab mix, Mika. My wife Abigail serves full-time active duty in the U.S. Army and is currently deployed overseas. In the meantime, Mika and I are probably nerding out over something new.
