The Human Behind the Work

I'm a designer, strategist, and product thinker with 20+ years building teams and products across finance, healthcare, tech, big data, and automotive — in startups, in corporate environments, and on my own. Products I shipped at Prudential Financial and Northwell Health are still running, and still winning awards.

My approach is human-centered and data-informed: design that gets tested, iterated, tested again, and still keeps a spark of soul. I'm most useful when the problem is messy — merging design and engineering cultures, modernizing legacy systems, or helping a team remember what it feels like to make something people love.

Hobbies & Fun Facts

Outside the work.

☕

Coffee. Obviously.

Every good idea starts with a cup. Every great idea starts with two.

Photography & Video

If it can be framed, I'm already thinking about the shot — documentary-style, natural light, no exceptions.

🏔️

Hudson Valley Explorer

Trails, farms, small towns, mountain views. It keeps showing up in the work. Hard not to be inspired.

🔤

Obsessive Type Nerd

Yes, I notice bad kerning in restaurant menus. No, I cannot be stopped.

🤖

AI-Augmented, Not AI-Dependent

Integrated into every stage of the workflow. The strategy, craft, and decisions are still human — the speed isn't.

Still Excited After 20 Years

The problems keep changing. The satisfaction of solving them hasn't. That's the whole reason to keep doing this.

Human-centered. Always.
