Hello. I’m a designer and musician based in Portland, OR. I direct and manage a multi-disciplinary creative team at Instrument. We focus on strategic vision, user experience design, and brand systems for future Alphabet products and initiatives. I also lead internal programs focused on mentorship and community outreach with local schools.
From 2007—2016, I founded and built Legwork, a boostrapped creative studio inspired by the DIY spirit of bands like Fugazi.
My design work has recieved industry honors from The Webby Awards×19, FWA×30, The One Show×3, Cannes Lions×3, and SXSW×3 among others. It has been featured by numerous publications from Fast Company, to Communication Arts, to The New York Times.
I’ve also been a design juror for The Webby Awards, FWA, AIGA, and Communication Arts Interactive Annual.

Outside of my day job, I compose and record music with analog synthesizers and overdriven guitars. I’m starting to release songs under the name Former Lives.
