About

I'm a design researcher and strategist with a multi-disciplinary background in service design, industrial design, and architecture. I'm passionate about research methodology, storytelling, and design prototyping, and I bring expertise in systems thinking and the ability to motivate my teammates to deliver exceptional work. I'm devoted to research and its practical application in design.

I bring a positive can-do attitude everywhere I work, and I like to motivate teams with humor and goodwill. A lot of what I do day to day is team coaching — recognizing individual strengths and weaknesses, and helping move an organization's mission forward while developing the people on the team.

Outside of work, I like building things — cars, furniture, DIY home improvements — and spending time with my family. I especially love my wife and son.
