About Me
I’m a product designer who loves bringing order to complexity and building solutions that leave teams, products, and processes better than I found them. My background spans UX design, research, and product strategy. What drives me most is the opportunity to make meaningful, lasting improvements. I’m motivated by what comes next and the chance to keep growing, solving bigger problems, and contributing to thoughtful, future-focused design work with real impact.

I was born and raised in Western Pennsylvania just outside of Pittsburgh. I grew up as a die hard Steelers and Penguins fan, and a habitually disappointed Pirates fan.
Raised on a healthy diet of 2000’s R&B/Hip-Hop, Nickelodeon, Disney, and Cartoon Network TV shows, I was obsessed with Batman from a young age and became a Star Wars fan for life during the prequel era.
I am told I wore this every day for a year straight
Family and wife on Senior Night at Drexel University
I played a ton of sports in my youth, but eventually landed on wrestling as my main sport by high school. I had a good enough career in high school that I was recruited to and wrestled at the NCAA Division 1 level for Drexel University.
At Drexel University I met my wife and some of my best friends while getting to experience my dream of living in a large city. We went to festivals, met amazing people, and we got to eat at a variety of fantastic restaurants all over the city.

After graduation, we adopted two gorgeous dogs from the North Philadelphia Shelter named Quenta and Mavis. Quenta is the biggest sweetie in the world and Mavis is our evil little viper.
We continued to live in Philadelphia after graduation until my wife was accepted to Ohio State University Law School. We moved to Columbus, Ohio for three years just in time for the Buckeyes to win a NCAA football championship.

Now that my wife is close to graduation, we are moving back to Philadelphia.
