About Me
I live and work in Cleveland, Ohio and would love to talk about how I can help your next project.
Work Experience
Assurant Labs
Product Designer
October 2012 - October 2018

Working on an agile, cross-platform team creating experiences that are distributed to over 25 million devices around the world. Assurant Labs was formerly Mobile Defense, a small startup where I joined as the first product designer, helping to establish a team of 5 designers and an eventual acquisition by Assurant (AIZ). Over the past 6 years, I have helped build several features across multiple products. Leading design and experience from early research through production and usability testing. Recently driving a team-wide creation of a design system to support fast iteration and consistency across multiple teams. Aside from product work I have helped build an environment of ongoing learning, with local meet ups, lunch-time book clubs, and regular design team get togethers to critique our recent work and to share tools, articles and relevant inspiration.
