Biography

I am an artist and user experience designer in Portland, OR. My creative practice extends from a history of Minimalist and Reductive sculpture and painting. Those ideals of placing simplicity first run throughout my approach to web and mobile design.

My artwork is represented by Half/Dozen Gallery in Portland.

Verizon Newsroom

Verizon wanted to drastically reassess the way they deliver news. The Verizon Newsroom is designed as the source for all their product news, and as the hub for all of Verizon’s social networking properties. Focusing on the amount of great content generated for and about Verizon’s products was priority #1.

eCycling

The eCycling Leadership Initiative is a program created by leading tech companies, such as Apple, Sony, and Dell, to inform customers how to responsibly recycle all their old gadgets. Their site and brand I created are devoted to fulfilling their goal of recycling one billion pounds of electronics annually by 2016.
