I’m a multidisciplinary designer based in Northwest Ohio, currently Principal Product Designer at YouVersion, where I work on the Bible App.
My background in music taught me how a story breathes in rhythm, harmony, and restraint. Interfaces work the same way: they unfold in time. Tempo, pacing, the pause before something resolves. People feel that timing even when they can’t name it.
What I do
- Art direction and visual direction
- Concepting and ideation
- Motion design and animation
- Interaction design and prototyping
- Product design, end to end
I can take an idea a long way on my own. But the best ones rarely belong to one person. Songwriting taught me that. Some of the greatest songs have more than one name in the credits. One writer brings a verse, another finds the chorus, and the song lands somewhere neither would have reached alone.
Design works the same way. I love catching the start of an idea and following it to see where it leads, the way a good melody pulls you along. Then I want to hand it to someone who hears something I didn’t. Sometimes that’s another designer. Just as often it’s an engineer, a client, or the person who knows the problem better than anyone in the room. Being a great collaborator is what leads to the best work.
Approach
Design shouldn’t just be seen. It should be felt.
I get work into interactive form as early as possible. Static mocks flatten what could be dimensional, responsive, and alive. Prototyping, for me, is a way of thinking. A way to discover ideas, not just demonstrate them.
Most of that happens in Origami Studio and Cursor/Claude, where an interaction can be tested in real time, on a real device. It’s reshaped how I solve problems.
Outside the screen
I’m a dad, a guitarist, a songwriter, a coffee drinker, and a sucker for old tube amps. Most weekends I’m with my family, or fishing.
