I’m a product and visual designer with over 15 years of experience across in-house and agency teams. My work sits at the intersection of design systems, product platforms, and creative direction, helping organizations bring clarity and cohesion to complex environments.
I currently work at First Trust Portfolios, where I scale design systems and product experiences across internal and external sales platforms. Previously, I’ve led design work across agency and financial services environments, including Verb DB, Envisionit, and Performance Trust, simplifying complex data and elevating brand systems across digital and print.
Currently, I am:
3D printing on my Prusa MK4
exploring the world of Frosthaven
building the UCS Millennium Falcon
listening to Andy Serkis narrate The Lord of the Rings
