Every SaaS product is designed with user empathy in mind. From sitemaps, to wireframes, mockups to prototype work.
Using the latest technologies, I am able to take a mockup and convert it into a pixel perfect functional website.
16+ years of managing Designers, Developers, and Software Engineers to nurture professional growth.
Below you will find some of the projects I have recently been involved in.
As a member of the senior management team I am involved with new product design and development. I was tasked with coming up with potential new products and revenue streams for the company. Pilot is one of those products.
Product Design, Front-end Development, Brand Design
Provided with a rough concept, I was the driving force behind how the service should work, the features required, and the logistics of how it would be delivered (a physical kiosk and a mobile phone/text message version).
Product Design, Front-end Development, Brand Design, User Research, Logistical Coordination
Text and images are all standard for websites and print collateral, However, we were interested in exploring the opportunity to allow users the ability to easily embed rich media in their products.

Information Architecture, Interaction Design, Front-end Development, Strategy
I have been designing and managing designers for over 16 years.
Born and raised north of the border in Canada, I graduated with honors from the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology in 2005.
From the moment a personal computer made its way into my life, I have engulfed myself in all things digital design. What began as hours spent in Microsoft Paint designing my own brand of superheroes, has led to pixel pushing and creative thinking for the majority of my adult life.
As part of my final semester, I began an internship at Strathcom Media where I designed and developed websites for the automotive industry. I was quickly promoted to the position of Lead Web Designer where I split my time between designing and mentoring junior level Designers.
In 2008, I met my lovely American bride-to-be and made my way to Washington state. Before long I joined the team at Pacific Software Publishing, Inc. as a Web Designer. Within a year, I was promoted to the role of Manager of Design & Development before eventually achieving the role of Chief Design Officer.
I have been the key figure in all creative decisions and the driving force behind our brand strategy and UI/UX design for all major projects, both for our clients and our own SaaS systems. All of this along with hiring, training, and mentoring the next generation of Designers.
As I have continued in my career I have assumed additional senior leadership roles. Spending valuable time working with business leaders nationally through various business networking and collaboration efforts. I am a member of the Seattle Executives Association where I am currently serving on the board in the capacity of First Vice President, set to assume presidential duties this Summer.
When I'm not working on coordinating and contributing to the design and development of SaaS products I love spending time with my wife and 2 boys. I enjoy hiking, traveling, a good movie, weight/fitness training, and backyard campfires. Much of my free time is spent every Spring as a volunteer coach for Kent Little League. Fostering team work, comradarie, encouragement, and fun to youth is so hugely rewarding to me.
