Open to senior IC and design leadership roles

I design products people play, watch, and pay for. I then help teams ship them.

Twenty-plus years on games, sports, and consumer products, from EA and Glu to a company I co-founded and a design team I led. Lately I taught HCI, which is another way of saying I got good at explaining why.

  • 02 · Co-Founder, Look Development Lead, HypGames

    HypSports

    Co-founding a sports gaming startup and owning the look of a fantasy platform built for gamers, from visual identity to front end across Unity and web.

  • 03 · Sr. Experience Designer, Glu Mobile / Electronic Arts

    Tap Sports Fishing

    Owning front-end UI and UX for a 3D fishing simulation through soft launch, designing against live data as iOS 14.5 rewrote mobile acquisition.

    One thumb, thirty seconds, and it still had to feel like fishing.

Building something? Let's talk.

Full-time roles, fractional design leadership, or a product that needs a designer who can also open the codebase.
