I design products and campaigns.
Both kinds ship.
Senior Designer at HarperCollins by day, product builder the rest of the time. I've designed 490+ book marketing campaigns at a Big Five publisher, branded 100+ concerts at Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center, and shipped two production web apps with paying subscribers — all from the same desk in Manhattan.
I started as a CS major, switched to music on a tuba scholarship, taught orchestra to 200 kids in Dallas, moved to New York, and ended up here. I'm looking for my next role in product design or design engineering.
Work
Grindset
Product Design & Development · 2024
I kept a spreadsheet to track my espresso shots. It told me what happened but never what to do next. So I designed an app that does.
ColdSnap
Product Design & Development · 2024
My dad owned an HVAC company, so I grew up understanding how the business operates. After researching the industry, I saw a gap in field service software and designed an app to fill it.
HarperCollins Publishers
Campaign Design · 2023–Present
490+ campaigns across 280+ titles for William Morrow, Avon, and Harper Voyager. Amazon A+ pages, animated DSP ads, and collector's edition launches for Bridgerton, Elphie, The Hurricane Wars, and Babel.
DCINY
Brand & Web Design · 2018–Present
Sole designer for 100+ concerts at Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center. Concert branding, season print campaigns, and a website I built from scratch with Salesforce integration.
Side Projects
Synos
A Spotify-style music player for Synology NAS that streams your personal library with EQ, crossfade, and persistent playback.
NYC Parking
One-glance alternate side parking status for NYC with live 311 data and a 7-day forecast, because I park on the street in Manhattan.
Writing
Designing for the field
What I learned designing ColdSnap for HVAC techs who work in 140-degree attics with no signal.
From spreadsheet to product
How tracking espresso shots in Google Sheets led me to design Grindset, and what I got wrong along the way.
From music teacher to product designer
The unconventional path from teaching orchestra in Texas to designing at a Big Five publisher in New York.
I'm looking for product design or design engineering roles where “can you ship?” matters more than “where did you study?” Get in touch.
