About Me

Who Am I?

Fossil hunter, Dad, and tabletop wargamer. When I'm not experiencing life with my wife and kids, I'm your partner in refining your user's experience.

The Mobile App and Game years

I began my career as a game designer with a startup mobile app and game development studio. During that time, I took on many design roles and worked through the completion of dozens of mobile apps and games.

Back to University

With a desire to understand the users of my designs more deeply, I went back to University and earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Interaction Design.
