As an XR UX Designer at Enduvo, I have led the design of innovative solutions for our mixed reality educational platform for the Metaverse, spanning PC, Mac, VR, AR, and mobile devices. I have taken projects from initial client meetings through to delivery, including defining project goals, creating personas, journey maps, and user flows, and developing high-quality, user-centered designs.Collaborating with diverse teams, I’ve worked closely with individuals in the Air Force, education, and technology sectors, ensuring that our solutions meet the unique needs of our users. My projects have focused on emerging technologies, including AR/VR, AI, and cutting-edge innovation, to create engaging and effective learning experiences.I have represented Enduvo at numerous conferences, meeting with new clients and stakeholders to advocate for and implement human-centered design approaches. By bridging user needs with business goals, I have helped deliver impactful solutions that drive the future of immersive learning and training.

I founded DET3D to provide digital services with a strong focus on user experience (UX) design and human-centered design solutions. I specialize in creative work, including interactive prototypes, concept designs, animations, digital photography, videos, and immersive virtual reality (VR) environments. My UX expertise spans creating personas, journey maps, user flows, and designing intuitive user interfaces that enhance usability and accessibility. I work closely with clients to deliver engaging, user-centered experiences while blending creative vision with strategic design thinking. In addition to my core creative work, I offer support in areas like website creation and API integration, ensuring cohesive and impactful digital results.

I work with an interdisciplinary team of designers and developers to help develop prototypes for concept iteration, research, and exploration with a very human centered approach. Working with digital and physical tools to build out visions, I'm a digital maker collaborating with a team of researchers, designers, and engineers. Projects include working with cross-functional teams to explore consumer needs for interactions as well as building out fast solutions for user testing. We work with BlueScape, Miro, Figma, and more to collaborate on ideas and roughly build interfaces online. My contribution includes interactive media development, design work, augmented and virtual reality, animation, and lots of creativity! My current tools of choice are Microsoft Hololens 2, Cardboard, Unity, Maya, and NodeJS.

Joined a startup team at Alpine to assist with UX, animation, and full stack development. Working with the In-Vehicle Infotainment group on radio and cloud development. Involved with AWS creating NodeJS servers, APIs, diagnostics charts, analytics, and profile implementation. I worked on modernizing the local intranet for the company and API development for an Android infotainment solution we were developing. I worked with a team overseas to establish a restful API for the radio to send analytical data to a nosql database I also created and managed.

As a Sr UX Developer, I started focusing more on HTML5, CSS, JS, NodesJS server development (socket.io) and Unity for my interactive builds. These were for interactive interfaces as well as full vehicle BUCs with displays, audio visuals, and other content that needed syncing. I was responsible for all Product Design Office concept and prototype builds that required displays, electronics, networking, and interaction. I helped combine digital and physical experiences for the User Experience Product Design Office. I’ve worked with Unity for XR development on Magic Leap One and Microsoft Hololens to create interactive 3D environments.

Responsibilities Include: Interactive Design & Development, Project Management, Animation, Photography, Video Editing, Marketing, Budget Management, Problem Solving, Customer Satisfaction, & Training.Clients included WIT Creative, Tipping Point Services, AVT Global, Mandy & Pandy, Logic Living, Robert Bruce Photography, & Polish American Numismatic Society.

Sr. user experience developer/concept modeler working in the FCA Product Design Office. Projects include working as a technical lead for developing Infotainment systems on International Jeep concepts (for Shanghai Auto Show). Working with suppliers, I handle procurement and setup of display hardware as well as I/O interfacing. I also support our group of designers with animations, motion tracking, programming, and concept development. We're an innovative group that generates new ideas and interactive models that showcase future intent for our upcoming portfolio.

Working hand in hand with designers in the user experience group, I helped with generating ideas, creative aspects of UI designs, as well as programmed experiences to test future implementation of user interfaces for future radios and clusters. I mocked up most of my interactive interfaces in Flash and AS3. Eventually interfaces would be built with HTML, CSS, and JS to replace Flash and I learned to use the DOM on a webpage for laying out my builds.

I was head of a digital media department where I successfully ran the fastest growing program in our College. I developed curriculums and taught classes in advanced interactive design, assisted all other college departments with digital media, websites, print work, photography, video, animation, and started a student organization called Detroit Digital Movement that offered additional learning opportunities and experiences for our students. I partnered with many local businesses to provide students opportunities to intern and work post graduation.
