Portland, Oregon, United States

I led product design and development for MicroMentor, a global platform in five languages connecting small business entrepreneurs with mentors around the world. I spearheaded and executed a 2019 redesign and redevelopment of the platform, dovetailing with an organizational strategy to own the product in-house from an external vendor. I devised and.

Axoplasm is me; my consulting/contracting business entity is now Scrubjay (see above). For two decades I’ve been fortunate to get paid to draw and write and code and think. Not a bad gig.

Portland, Oregon Area

Strategy and design love for a crackerjack Drupal development shop.

I concepted, strategized, architected, mapped, designed, and developed part or all of every public Mercy Corps website for six years, including the flagship fundraising website

Xiamen, Fujian, China

I oversaw web efforts for an international clothing company headquartered in China. Ports's brands include Ports 1961, Printemps China Department Stores, and Ports International (at that time revealed to be the third most recognized brand in China).

I designed and documented the user experience of the Intel Brand Center, a global extranet for distributing and managing on-brand creative.

I led a team of designers through the treacherous shoals of web, email, print, and interactive marketing. Not to mention pitching and wooing clients, guiding artistic direction, and keeping a firm hand on the tiller of User Experience. Clients included Hewlett-Packard, Paramount Television, and MacForce.

I designed (in the “drew pretty pictures” sense) and developed (in the “hand-tooled front-end code and Flash” sense) websites for NW Natural, Dole Foods, Quaker Oats, and Cap’n Crunch. Why are “designing” and “developing” always two separate jobs at creative agencies? That’s why my job title had a slash in it.

(Halfway through my tenure at this company, CyberSight changed its name to NineDots.)

They paid me to draw monkeys. Not JUST monkeys, mind you, and of course the drawing was just a tiny part of my job (which also included a fair bit of front-end coding and Flash and CGI and whatnot) but yes, I did draw monkeys and THEY PAID ME.
