Hello! Welcome to my humble little corner of the internet. Here, you’ll find over a decade’s worth of writing, photo essays and personal projects.

You can call me a designer, but over the years I’ve also worked as a UI engineer, producer, marketer and support agent. I’ve done a bit of everything—including outside sales for a coupon business that I started in college.

Writing is thinking. It helps me organize my thoughts. I write as a way to check the assumptions floating around in my head. Lately, I have published a fair amount of content about artificial intelligence. I fancy myself as a grumpy, stubborn designer, so you’ll find plenty of my rants and assertions. However, it is all in good fun.

Making things is important. That sentiment, combined with my inability to sit still, has led to a lot of strange and varied projects over the years. While most of these projects have faded, they have taught me valuable lessons and opened many doors.

Currently, I am a Staff Product Designer leading both Salesloft’s design system and platform teams. I believe designers produce their best work with strong guidance, but plenty of autonomy.

In 2017 I was hired on as one of Salesloft’s first designers. Since then I’ve built features that have improved workflows for millions of salespeople.

Previously, I co-founded a fantasy sports company called SidePrize (now known as PrizePicks). The company is currently the largest private fantasy sports operator in North America.

Years ago I hosed the Designer News Podcast, DN FM. The show featured interviews with designers, illustrators and people in the tech community. Guests include Jessica Hische, Aarron Walter, Linda Liukas and Randy J. Hunt. Before that I ran an online design publication called Signal Tower.

I love taking photos on trips. Often I publish them in photo essays. I live in Atlanta with my wonderful wife Holly, and our two dogs Remi and Otto.

Every month or two, I publish a newsletter. It contains a personal update, as well as thoughts on design, software, and entrepreneurship. It’s also the easiest way to get notified about any new essays I’ve written.

Also, I don’t spend time on social media, so if you’re looking to follow me, subscribing is the best way to keep in touch.

Anyways, hope to see ya around!
