I established a Product Experience practice, leading a team dedicated to integrating Human-Centered Design into new product development. In an industry where human decisions are critical to product performance and safety, HCD is essential. I worked to deeply understand user needs and behaviors, applying these insights to develop product experiences that enhance usability and support decision-making under real-world conditions. I also led user persona development, creating detailed user profiles to inform design and product strategies. My focus was always on delivering user-centric solutions and fostering a collaborative environment that empowered design innovation aligned with the demands of the industry

A homecoming. Digital experiences that are slammed into high gear and where I do all the buzz words. I get to lead design teams in enterprise site experiences and product design. Develop talent, lead and participate in design workshops and do the work. Brands include both retail and B2B — SAP, Honeywell, Resideo, Tom’s of Maine, Phillips 66, US Bank, First Horizon and Ford Motor Company.

The entrepreneurial spirit of the highest order. I got to work with brilliant friends to help grow an exciting local agency. We worked with global brand Hawker Beechcraft, Delta Dental of Kansas and Cox Business. Together, we were able to double in size — and then 2008.

Three words: Market Based Management. It’s here where I learned the importance of creating real value for the business, how to lead teams and develop talent.

This is where it all came together. It was my introduction to the digital universe. I still produced a lot of paper stuff but with a healthy diet of pixel stuff mixed in. I touched so many brands I can’t remember them all but a few notable ones are Sprint, Major League Soccer, American Express and AMC Theatres.

SHS is where I learned the ropes of advertising. I learned how to work in a creative team. I also learned how to work with photographers, illustrators, directors and printers. I worked with the World’s leading aviation brands Cessna Citation, Rockwell Collins and BF Goodrich Aerospace.

Worked on global environmental graphic design projects in Berlin, Central America and various North American sites. Assignments included mixed-use spaces, large retail spaces and parking systems. Designed from concept through construction documents and build.
