I am a UX Specialist with a passion for Service Design and a Bachelor’s in Psychology. Currently a UX Director at Celerity and on the side run two business with my wife. One of the companies, XDco, is an Experience Design Collective we started in order to work solely with companies focused on making a positive impact on emotional, social or environmental change. Our other venture is an iOS app called Grow Birch, which we built alongside one developer. Birch is a tool designed specifically to help people take control of their health and wellness by tracking, storing and organizing themselves, their kids, pets, and more, all in one place.
Between my time at digital agencies, running XDco and building an app of my own, I have gained strong experience as a leader, manager, mentor and design advocate. I have a knack for gathering, synthesizing and organizing complex data, requirements and constraints. I am passionate about working directly with stakeholders, leading workshops and designing end-to-end experiences that exceed business metrics and enhance the end-user’s experience. Whether it be an accelerator project to help define a problem statement and build a POC, or an end-to-end solution, my knowledge and expertise in studying user behavior and identifying problems allows me to create elegant and efficient solutions, while meeting the business needs. From stakeholder interviews to testing with prototypes, I bring a myriad of methodologies and tools to the table. Through my career, I have focused on service design, user centered interaction and UX design across many industries on native mobile, responsive web and have some experience with VUI and HUD.
