Driven by the challenge of answering tough questions in interesting spaces, I balance human needs, business goals, and emerging technology to build digital experiences that help people enjoy simple and efficient lives. 

I thrive when working with agile teams to shape design strategy that shapes impactful products.

Leveraging research for perspective, I aim to constantly improve experiences by incorporating feedback from people in their day-to-day reality.

We should work together.

Work

During the design process, I seek out issues that most frustrate and impede users. It's vital to understand a day in their shoes. Using this framework, I focus on shaping meaningful interactions within systems that easily work. Striving for clear and seamless.

Working closely with customers is the only way to build impactful multi-platform experiences that are integrated, and tailor-made for humans living in an evolving world.

Designing helpful digital experiences inspires me because life is primarily guided by thoughtful design. There's something exciting about connecting the dots of users' needs; something deeply satisfying about revealing the solution that makes daily life easier.

Life

When not designing and building, you can find me in the mountains chasing the sun with my dog, Massimo. I spend time away from the computer enjoying the outdoors: Skiing, fishing, biking, climbing, and camping. Taking it all in as Massi tags along for adventure.
