Background

I'm a Lead Digital Product Designer at Scout Motors, bringing together design, storytelling, motion, and content to shape human-centered digital experiences. My work spans visual design, animation, 3D, video production, and AI-driven content — with a consistent goal of crafting cohesive, high-impact narratives that connect.

Prior to Scout, I was a Creative Director at Code and Theory (formerly YML), leading projects for clients like Under Armour, YETI, Volvo, Clover, Microsoft, Citadel, Amazon, State Farm, and Invisalign. Before that I built an in-house studio team at Mindbody and ran my own studio serving clients like Google, Mindbody, Twitch, Cisco, and more.

Outside of work, I co-host Monsters of Design, write and record music, and produce films as The Curious Hunter.
