About

Creatively Driven. Strategically minded. Human Obsessed.

I am a Design and Innovation Strategist, with a unique art and business background, eager to build a better future of meaningful human-centered solutions.

I LOVE SOLVING COMPLEX PEOPLE PROBLEMS THROUGH CREATIVITY AND COLLABORATION. I’M POWERED BY CURIOSITY AND MOTIVATED BY LATENT CONSUMER NEEDS. I’M ATTRACTED TO LAUGHTER, HUMILITY, DESIGN, AND DIVERSITY. I’M A DAD, HUSBAND, CREATOR, AND ADVENTURER WITH A BASECAMP IN MINNEAPOLIS.

I’M INSPIRED BY WORKING WITH DESIGN-LED COMPANIES WITH big hearts AND A PASSION FOR CREATING experiences PEOPLE ACTUALLY WELCOME. I’M LUCKY TO DO ALL OF THIS IN SERVICE OF CONSUMERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY, CHIEF EXECUTIVES, AND SENIOR LEADERS.

Creatively Driven

I’m A maker, a hacker, and a tinkerer. I’m also a self-taught photographer, designer, and furniture maker. I ran my own commercial photography and art direction business in NYC and Collaborated with award winning ad agencies on campaigns for JetBlue, Target, Smirnoff, and Nike. I also co-founded a military-inspired urban gear company, Fidelis Co.

By day, I’m creatively fueled by generating irreverent ideas, prototyping innovative concepts, and crafting stories that change perceptions about the future.

Strategically Minded

I’m a scrappy calculated risk taker. Once a management consultant and investment analyst, I helped restructure some of the world’s largest companies and raised money for future growth opportunities.

Today, I discover new spaces by balancing creative, analytical, and iterative thinking to anticipate consumer trends, viable markets, and emerging technologies from a product design, business model, and marketing perspective.

Human Obsessed

I AM A PEOPLE PERSON AND A PERSON OF THE PEOPLE. I love studying implicit attitudes, behaviors, and motivations to understand people’s willingness to try new things. I’d like to believe A superbly designed human-centered solution sells itself.

In my current role, I’m fortunate to have 150m people to learn from and solve for daily. I’m also lucky to Cultivate talent by sculpting innovative mindsets, behaviors, and capabilities across a large organization.
