About

I am a graphic designer with over twenty years of experience in interaction design, product design, design leadership and training, and business and marketing strategy.

Over the last decade, I have personally consulted over 200 creative, digital, and marketing firms on how to better understand audience attention, leverage design and technology to make the best use of it, and measure the signals that matter.

I am currently the Chief Design Officer at Newfangled and Magnolia. I manage all things design in both places.

Interests

Much of the contents of this website could be considered within the category of “design”; it goes without saying that it is an interest of mine. But I like going on the record with a list of my main interests, because I think they provide a fuller picture of who I am that even the most robust archive of written material can. After all, who is going to read it all?
