Xr/Spatial Computing Consultant, Product Lead, Art DirectorMultiple (See Description) Sep 2022 - PresentIn August 2022, I embarked on a new journey as an independent Product Design & XR Strategy Consultant. Since then, I've had the pleasure of working with a variety of clients in the biotech, telecommunications, aerospace, blockchain, entertainment, gaming, and XR/experiential design sectors.

I've taken on the role of Product Lead at an innovative biotech startup, where I lead the design and development of mobile, desktop, and mixed reality applications leveraging emerging technologies for use in revolutionizing speech therapy. My other roles also entail product & design work for a leading cryptocurrency protocol building the first NFT futures & options trading platform, and XR consultation services in the AR/VR/MR sectors for a variety of clients including Rakuten, Snapchat, Genentech, Toei Animation, Kofax, CNN, MagicLeap, Stanford Department of Psychiatry, Dkoda Labs, and more.My ability to conceptualize and execute oftentimes unorthodox complex ideas into beautiful, user-friendly apps, platforms, and experiences has been a key driver in my success in these diverse roles.
