About Me
I’m a dad, husband, designer, and coach living in Pittsburgh, PA, USA.
Gecko Robotics
Principal product designer
I’m a principal product designer at Gecko Robotics where I have been leading product and design across several robotic data collection systems and customer deployments. Currently I’m focused on the defense and manufacturing industries. This work spans Gecko’s inspection systems using robotic crawlers and 6-axis arms with ultrasonic and visual payloads. In addition, we’re building downstream workflows on Gecko’s cloud platform with novel data analysis tools to aid manufacturing optimization.
BCG X
Product Design Director
BCG acquired MAYA Design in 2017, and I worked with some of the biggest organizations in the world, like Microsoft, CVS, and the US Navy. I was a Product Design Director, and I led teams designing new products and experiences for those enterprises and their users. My work went across domains such as industrial goods, consumer products and e-commerce, health care, and defense.
As a senior leader at BCG X, the technology-focused arm of BCG, I helped define our go-to-market offerings, sell and scope projects, and ensure successful delivery of those projects—so that they benefited users, client organizations, and our ongoing relationships with those clients.
MAYA Design
World-class human-centered design
For several years, I was a designer at MAYA Design before becoming Director of Visual Design. MAYA was a pioneering human-centered design firm where I had the chance to learn from masters of their craft. As both a designer and manager, I was responsible for UX, advanced prototyping, visual design, animation, and video.
Actual Size
Digital design & development
A lifetime ago, I worked at Actual Size, a small but mighty Pittsburgh design firm, where I led digital design and development as the firm evolved beyond a traditional print design focus. This meant a lot of poorly coded websites and lots of terrible (but low-key awesome) Flash creations: games, sites, kiosks, banners, and even some nascent interactive installations with motion tracking technology.
