Storytelling
In this role, I lead product strategy, creative direction, UX research, and cross-functional design initiatives across sectors including law enforcement, education, and large-scale venues. My work focuses on enhancing security, streamlining operations, and creating safer, more efficient experiences for communities nationwide.
Before stepping into the Principal role, I joined SurePass as the Founding Product Designer. I led the product design strategy from zero to one, guiding the successful launch of our MVP. I also established foundational design systems—defining design guidelines, brand direction, and operational standards that continue to shape our design practice.
I live in Denver, Colorado with my brilliant wife, talented daughter, and two unapologetically spoiled dogs. Outside of design, I’m drawn to the outdoors—trail running, cycling, snowboarding, and mountaineering fuel my sense of adventure and balance.

Generative AI
GenAI is a type of artificial intelligence that can create new content, such as text, images, or music. It does this by learning the patterns and structures of existing data and then using that knowledge to generate new data that is similar to the original. Generative AI has the ability to revolutionize the way we create and consume content.
Augmented Reality
Augmented reality (AR) is a technology that superimposes a computer-generated image on a user's view of the real world, thus providing a composite view. AR can be used to overlay information on top of the real world, such as directions, labels, or 3D models. It's used in gaming, education, and training, and has potential for other industries.
Invisible UI
Invisible UI is a user interface that is designed to be as unobtrusive as possible. It does this by using natural language processing, gesture recognition, and other technologies to anticipate the user's needs and make the interface invisible to them. As the technology continues to grow, we can expect to see even more innovative and creative uses.
Spatial UI/UX
Spatial UI/UX is a type of user interface that uses spatial cues, such as depth, proximity, and orientation, to create a more immersive and engaging user experience. It is often used in virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) applications, but it can also be used in traditional user interfaces.
Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy
Psychedelic therapy is a type of psychotherapy that uses psychedelic drugs to help people with mental health conditions. The therapy is typically conducted in a clinical setting with a therapist who is trained in psychedelic-assisted therapy. The therapist then helps the patient process their psychedelic experiences.
Healthtech
Healthtech is a broad term that refers to the use of technology to improve healthcare. It includes a wide range of technologies, such as wearables, telemedicine, and artificial intelligence. Wearable devices are a type of healthtech that can be worn on the body to collect data about health, such as heart rate, sleep, and activity levels.
Cleantech
Cleantech is a term used to describe technologies that are designed to protect the environment or reduce our impact on it. It includes renewable energy, energy efficiency, and sustainable transportation. Greentech is a subset of cleantech that is specifically focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions using technologies such as carbon capture and storage.
Climatetech
Climatetech is a term that refers to technologies that are explicitly focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, or addressing the impacts of global warming. It includes a wide range of technologies, such as renewable energy, energy efficiency, and carbon capture and storage. As the technology continues, we can expect to see even more effective solutions.
