I design innovative solutions for online and mobile user experience challenges. I advocate for users. I run, fish with flies, renovate vintage trailers, urban farm (in my square foot garden), occasionally dabble in woodworking and shoot documentaries. Currently I'm incubating sourdough cultures, salivating over the Best Made Company axes and hold the record for the longest Segway journey ever.
