Art + Engineering
Design lives on the spectrum between Art and Engineering — Emotion and Data. That's where I operate, and it is the domain of the world's most successful companies.

Braun, Apple, Sony, Google, Tesla, Herman Miller... I could go on. All of these brands came to find power in design, in stripping away the unnecessary, and producing a pure communication meant to connect the user directly to the experience. It's this connection, powered by varying the design expression between emotion and data that makes beautiful, flexible, robust, and successful brands.

It's this connection, powered by varying the design expression between emotion and data that makes beautiful, flexible, robust, and successful brands.
Since 2008, I've worked and researched to bring this experience to audiences around the world.
DeviantArt
Getting into digital art has always been a somewhat elusive and confusing endeavor for many people. Either the interface is intimidating, there isn't enough power to run the software, or it's just too costly. Through my work at DeviantArt designing Muro, an HTML5 drawing app that brings digital art to all, I was able to help lift an entire subset of young artists out of having no access to robust, cloud-based digital art tools.

iZotope + BT
Digital audio is something a lot of people have difficulty visualizing and working with. It gets even more difficult when you get down to notes so short they, together, produce a tone instead of separate notes. This is called Granular Synthesis, and it's one of the backbones to Stutter Edit and BreakTweaker. Designing an interface to control these effects in an intuitive way not only allowed iZotope's customers to work with and understand sound like never before, but also started a completely new era of audio effects and beat synthesis.
VRV
The Internet Crowd is fickle. The only thing that works for them is authenticity. Through my work with VRV, a nerd-culture and anime-focused streaming channel, they were able to connect to their audience with surreal TV bumps in the all-too-important early days of the brand, and lay the groundwork for their current success.

Spayce
Memories are a deep part of what makes us, and keeping them safe, organized, and private is extremely close to many people's hearts. Through a clean, simplified interface, Spayce solves the modern problem of all of our memories being stuck in a photos app, instead of being able to tell the story of your life. Spayce organizes memories by geotag and notifies you of places you'd previously visited so you can share those moments with your friends and family.
