About Me

I’m a User Experience (UX) Leader with a proven track record of designing intuitive and accessible interfaces for clients in both the public and private sectors.

As UX Lead with EBS-C, I collaborate with product managers and developers to ensure user experience is prioritized throughout the development process. I am adept at creating and maintaining design systems, advocating for user-centered design principles, and using data analysis to inform design decisions.

UX leader, developer, creative problem solver,

husband, father, athlete… the list goes on. What makes me unique are the experiences I have lived to this point. I take ownership in each and every project I am a part of, and focus on delivering a product that enhances the lives of others. I am driven to learn, and continue to strengthen the skillset I have while acquiring skills in other areas.
