I’m a product design leader focused on building teams, systems, and strategies that put users at the center. With experience spanning global brands and startups alike, I bring a blend of creativity, structure, and vision to help companies design products that scale, inspire loyalty, and drive growth.
Since 2007
Innovation Through User-Centric Design Leadership
My Journey to Get Here
I’ve worn a lot of hats over the years — designer, developer, innovator, and leader. Each role gave me a new perspective, and together they’ve shaped a holistic view of how to create meaningful, lasting change.
On top of that, I’ve had some pretty unique gigs. I was once a cartoonist and 2D animator, bringing characters like Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck to life. And before all of that? I spent five years as a police officer. Every step of the way has added a layer to how I approach design, leadership, and innovation today.
There and back again
I moved to New York for a few years to work in Citi’s Innovation Lab, spend time at Google, and collaborate with major brands like Harley-Davidson. I loved the friends I made and the incredible experiences of big-city life, but eventually I returned to Texas, bringing all of that energy and perspective back with me.

INFP Personality: Mediator
As an INFP Mediator, I bring empathy, creativity, and a big-picture mindset into my work. I care deeply about people and their experiences, which drives me to design with the user at the center. I’m motivated by purpose and impact, not just process, and I naturally look for ways to connect ideas, teams, and vision into something meaningful. I thrive in roles where I can champion collaboration, explore new possibilities, and build solutions that feel authentic and human.
New OCB Pro for Men's Physique
Outside of design, I recently earned my Pro Card in OCB Men’s Physique, a milestone that reflects years of discipline, focus, and persistence. Competing at that level has taught me how to set big goals, put in the daily work, and push through challenges — the same mindset I bring to leading teams, driving innovation, and building experiences that perform under pressure.
