Information & Expertise

A portrait of the author

Prior to embarking on my freelance career I worked at TM where I led design and worked on the future of car buying experiences, AI-powered search, and later a data visualization platform for the Department of Defense and JAIC in response to SARS-CoV-2. This work was influenced by the need for predictive analytics and data visualizations for COVID-19 related supply chain management and risk mitigation.

Before all of that, I cut my teeth in the early days of Wordpress development, building custom themes and admin panels for my clients. This eventually would take me to California, where I was thrown head-first into the entertainment industry, working with the likes of HBO and Lionsgate on various spinoff projects and TV series microsites.

Along the way I've also had the privilege of helping dozens of startups at every stage to develop systems and guidelines that have helped them get off the ground, raise money, and improve their products post-series.

Over the years I have worn many hats and worked on a wide range of projects for brands in almost every vertical. Here’s a summary of those capabilities.
