Passionate about design since I was little, and counting.

A Little Bit of My Why

Well, hi there. What got me here.

As a kid, drawing wasn't just a pastime—it was my passion. I remember being that curious little guy, doodling away and daydreaming about the world around me. One vivid memory from when I was eight involves the headlights and taillights of my parent's classic 1970 Impala. To me, those lights symbolized potential. I believed that refining just those two aspects could transform the whole feeling of the vehicle.

From those humble beginnings to now, it's been an incredible ride. Nestled in the heart of North Idaho's beauty, I've found my calling as the Lead Product Designer at Angel Studios. It's a place where I share my passion, work with a fantastic team, and create products that people love. The most rewarding part of my career has been learning about servant leadership—listening to my team and striving to create multipliers. Inspired by Steve Martin’s mantra, “Be so good they can’t ignore you,” I aim to make a significant impact in every project.

Finding my Passion:

My design journey has deep roots in the tech world. I started off exploring the technological landscapes of giants like IBM, Microsoft, and Xbox. But by 2006, a new passion was calling: I plunged headfirst into the world of design. As I delved deeper, I stumbled upon the fascinating realm of User Experience Design, and it was a game-changer. The more I immersed myself, the more I realized this was where I truly belonged.

Now, with the wisdom gained from those tech giants and a passion for design, I lead by example, collaborating with a stellar team as we break new ground in the entertainment industry. As tech keeps advancing, I am eager to further my leadership ambitions. My focus is on fostering a culture of servant leadership, where listening to my team and nurturing their growth drives our collective success. I am committed to continuous learning and creating impactful, user-driven designs that resonate with people. I believe in the power of design to shape the future, and I am excited to lead my team towards new and innovative frontiers.
