At MERGE, I was a core member of the Senior Leadership Team and led the Experience Design team in our West region to deliver impactful user experiences, primarily in the digital world. We worked with cross-functional teams to embrace and unlock the power of human-centric design, fueled by curiosity, insights, unconventional thinking, technology, intuition and passion. We shipped websites of scale (both internally- and externally-facing), mobile apps, sales tools, dashboards, configurators, and other digital brand experiences.Client experience: American Medical Association, Advocate Aurora Health, Indiana University Health, Great West Financial, TransAmerica, Marriott International, James Hardie Building Products, Blueair, Chicago Botanic Garden, Marcos Pizza, and others in the healthcare, financial and consumer markets.

I spent nearly 14 years building Merge Design & Interactive, a privately held company that thrived by truly combining top-notch design and technology.Our team was comprised of incredibly talented strategists, designers, developers, and project managers and who worked collaboratively to discover, generate ideas, solve problems, and explore areas of innovation. In addition to being involved in all new business pitches and business operations, I specifically lead the design team in initiatives ranging from brand identity systems and other traditional communications, but our depth and core focus was in digital experience design and development for complex overhauls of website of scale, apps, enterprise platforms, internal portals and more. Key clients included Harley-Davidson, Dr Pepper Snapple Group, HERE, James Hardie, Aim & Arrow, Truss, Great West Financial, DePaul University, InnerWorkings, Echo Global Logistics, Rubicon, AbbVie, Astellas, Networked Insights, McCormick Foundation, Beazley and more.Over the years, enterprise digital- and technology-based transformative initiatives became our focus, and in March of 2017 we were acquired by HYConnect, part of the the Myelin network, to help drive and instill the new vision of the company — an uncommon combination of strategy, creatively and technology — under the leadership of Ron Bess. Building the original MERGE Design & Interactive was an incredible journey, and I'm thrilled to open this new door and embark on the adventure ahead.
