Chicago, Illinois, United States

Currently, most of my time is spent as the lone designer for 640 Labs dreaming up new ways to innovate in the world's oldest and most important market - agriculture.

The rest is spent working on a handful of projects like epicsteme and zenflow. Occasionally I'll update my blog with personal thoughts, inspirations and tribulations throughout these experiences.

I take a lean, agile approach to product design, making decisions based on user feedback and metrics, continuously validating assumptions & re-iterating. My work flow involves problem discovery, systematic research, design thinking, lots of sketching, prototyping, user stories, and strategizing.
