When I'm not behind a screen
My beliefs as a leader
Firm believer in the golden rule here
Be the teammate you would want to have on your team. Inspire others by setting the tone.
We have mutual goals and a shared finish line. Let's get to that line together in a respectful manner.
Do the right thing because it's the right thing to do. If the work is done right, the credit will follow.
We all need each other every now and then. Some of my favorite people are those I met through my career path.
nice to meet you
With over two decades of experience in the design world, I have been fortunate to have learned from the best. I have worked with world class design teams at every level.
​
At my time with Newell Brands, I worked on multiple brands including Rubbermaid, Yankee Candle, Ball, Bubba, Graco, NUK, Sharpie, Papermate and more. I was surrounded by world class illustrators, industrial designers, CMF teams and world class processes.
​
While at Prowess Consulting, I helped tech leaders such as Microsoft, Intel, Dell, AMD, Pure Storage, and more. I helped create the in-house design infrastructure and design-team culture that is currently being used at Prowess to this day.
​
Currently, I am working with Aqua Lily Pad and Wateraft brands for Jacobs and Thompson LLC. We are ramping up our game in the water-fun category.
I'm enjoying southwest Michigan

Or at the skatepark trying to hold onto my youth
Or creating art in all forms
