I live in Omaha, Nebraska, with my wife, Katja, and our three kids—Gadisa, Kiya, and Kaleb. We love to travel, camp, and explore national parks whenever we can. Our two dogs, Max and Mocha, keep life interesting at home. Whether we’re off on an adventure or just enjoying a quiet night in, we make the most of every moment.
I’ve always loved the mix of creativity and problem-solving, which is what drew me to UX and visual design. Great design isn’t just about looking good—it’s about making things clear, easy, and enjoyable to use. I love taking ideas and turning them into something simple, useful, and engaging.
Embracing the remote lifestyle, I enjoy working with teams from anywhere to create designs that connect and inspire. No matter where I am, my goal is always the same—bringing ideas to life in a meaningful way.
I thrive in a collaborative environment where open dialogue and data shape better ideas. The best solutions come from bringing diverse perspectives together, building trust, and keeping the user at the center. By fostering curiosity and teamwork, I create designs that not only look great but truly enhance the experience.
In working with teams, I focus on collaboration, mentorship, and sharing ideas to help everyone do their best work.
In collaborating across disciplines, I align on goals, share design insights, and streamline workflows.
In engaging stakeholders, I set clear expectations, build consensus, and use data to drive decisions.
With a strong foundation in UX Visual Design, I craft intuitive, accessible, and user-centered experiences that blend aesthetics with functionality. My approach is rooted in design thinking, ensuring that every interface is visually engaging, easy to navigate, and aligned with user needs and business goals. Leveraging user research, design systems, and interaction design principles, I create seamless digital experiences that enhance usability and engagement.
Design thinking drives my approach—emphasizing empathy, iteration, and problem-solving to create meaningful user experiences. By blending research, strategy, and visual design, I craft solutions that are functional, intuitive, and engaging.
In seeking my next role, my purpose is to design user-centered experiences that blend strategy, accessibility, and visual storytelling. I aspire to join a forward-thinking organization where collaboration and innovation drive meaningful solutions. My goal is to create intuitive, visually compelling designs that enhance how people interact with technology.
