I am a designer living in Seattle, Ballard to be more specific. I grew up in Ballard. Then I went to college in Stockton, California, where I spent a majority of my time at the pool playing water polo. After my undergrad I returned to Seattle and as long as you don't count the 8 months I lived on a sailboat as it traveled from Seattle to Baja Mexico this is where I've been.

In 2004 after three years as the website chair, I became president of the Seattle chapter of the AIGA. That year I also took a full-time position with Microsoft. In the spring of 2017 I joined Expedia Group where I worked as a Lead UX Designer. In January of 2021 I joined the startup Quiviq. In March of 2022 I joined Oracle as a Principal UX Designer. Over time I have come to realize that the best part of design is the people.
