My journey from product designer to design leader.

Living and working in Costa Rica while leading my design team at Continued.
Read about it hereI've always had a passion for aesthetics, which naturally led me to design. I take inspiration from everywhere, including my travels. Meeting people from all over the world has made me a more empathetic designer.
I also have a passion for helping others, so I gravitate towards design leadership. There is no better experience than seeing designers grow and flourish and ship great features.
I also still love doing the hands-on work, speaking to real customers and solving their problems through thoughtful design solutions.
I live in on the Lake Michigan coast in Spring Lake, MI with my girlfriend and our two dogs. When I'm not designing or coding, you can find me outside on a mountain bike, practicing yoga, or cooking up some Italian food.

Lately I've been using AI to rapidly create prototypes. I gather initial research using ChatGPT, use Figma Make for the first run, and then use Codex to create prototypes with design system rules.
