I'm a multidisciplinary designer based in Loveland, Colorado. For more than a decade I've helped businesses turn their stories into distinctive brands and digital experiences — from UX strategy and accessible product design to brand identities, packaging, print, and marketing websites.
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 run Wicked Oni, my design agency, alongside a freelance practice — partnering directly with clients across e-commerce, professional services, SaaS, and nonprofits, and taking projects from creative brief through final delivery. Recent work includes brand systems for Vague Family Farm and Veteran Launchpad, and print and digital marketing campaigns for Tigerpaw. I also hold an active TS/SCI clearance, and designing for defense — command-and-control systems where the margin for error is real — remains a specialty.
My focus areas:
User Experience Strategy — Research, systems design, and product thinking that connects user needs to business outcomes.
Brand & Identity — Logos, brand systems, packaging, print collateral, and illustration, with strong typography, clear messaging, and consistency across every customer touchpoint.
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.
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.
