I’m a designer and educator who bridges the gap between thinking and making.

My work is distinguished by my ability to combine critical thinking, digital craftsmanship, and inspiring leadership. This unique blend enables me to understand ideas deeply, create actionable blueprints, and motivate teams to bring those ideas to life.

I currently serve as principal designer and product manager at a Knoxville studio.

I’ve downgraded my CMS account and am rebuilding my project pages.

Apologies for the inconvenience.

In the meantime, just email me for case studies, or check out my portfolio on the connect page.

Learning is a cornerstone of both my personal and professional life. I often say I seek creativity through understanding, and understanding through creativity. In my experience as an instructor and scholar, I’ve created diverse, lab-like spaces that encourage experimentation and the application of new ideas.

What I have been thinking about lately:
