I'm a user experience, interface, and digital product designer based in Loveland, Colorado. I specialize in UX strategy, web accessibility, and inclusive design — work that sits at the intersection of systems thinking, user advocacy, and craft.
Before I was a designer, I was a Naval Aviator. Over a decade of flying P-8s and other aircraft in high-stakes, high-consequence environments taught me things design school doesn't cover: how to make fast decisions with incomplete information, how a poorly designed checklist can get someone killed, and how the interfaces people rely on in their most critical moments have to earn that trust completely. I brought all of that with me when I transitioned to design.
That background shapes how I work. I don't separate aesthetics from function. I don't treat accessibility as a compliance checkbox. And I don't hand off work that I wouldn't stand behind in a debrief. Systematic thinking isn't a methodology I adopted — it's how I'm wired.
Today I lead user experience design at NOAA's Global Systems Laboratory, where I design production weather tools used by National Weather Service forecasters across the country. I also work across the Department of Defense on command-and-control systems and enterprise platforms where the margin for error is real. Alongside that, I run Wicked Oni Studio — my design agency focused on accessible, impactful digital experiences for clients who want their work done right.
My focus areas:
User Experience Strategy — Research, systems design, and product thinking that connects user needs to business outcomes.
Web Accessibility — WCAG-compliant, inclusive design from the start, not bolted on at the end.
Interaction & Interface Design — Visual systems, component libraries, and interfaces built to scale.
Brand & Identity — Visual language that's intentional, distinctive, and built to last.
I believe good design is a form of respect. It says: I thought about you before you got here. That's the standard I hold myself to on every project.
