I design highly visual district user experiences for people and companies

I’ve spent the last 20 years designing and helping craft the vision for digital products across all platforms, for a variety of industries and users. What that’s garnered me is a solid understanding of a much larger picture for application design that incorporates strategic thinking and an appreciation for broad, scalable solutions.

Under my guidance, the award winning design team at Gannett produced work seen by millions of people every day. The solutions put in place under my leadership has given the whole of Gannett’s digital properties better brand recognition, growing revenue opportunities, a flexible set of digital products and depth with which to deliver content to their consumers.

I helped foster a philosophy at Gannett that placed design at the center of all innovative thinking. The user centered approach to driving engagement has given Gannett strength in the marketplace and with their users, while increasing opportunities for revenue rather than the opposite.

My time at Gannett has strengthened how I approach platform product design. I know where we can improve connectivity with our users and our content. I don’t see each product as an independent thing, rather a connected brand attribute.

In ventures outside Gannett, I've pushed the same philosophies, crafting and guiding teams to create beautiful products. I speak often about design, my approaches, the things that work and the lessons learned. I feel lucky to be in a place where I can evangelize design during a boom in digital where we are expected to lead rather than follow.
