ABOUT ME

As a visual artist with a passion for technology and a knack for creative problem solving, I thrive on creating a dynamic and exceptional user experience through design. Working with an enthusiastic, dedicated team also inspires me, as does being engaged in all aspects on a variety of projects.
 
Born in Los Angeles, I taught myself to code as a teenager in the late ‘90s and became a programmer/web designer at the beginning of the web-design revolution. My passion for traditional fine art took me to Italy to study at the Universita degli Studi di Firenze before returning to continue my studies at Pasadena’s Art Center College of Design and California State University, Long Beach.
 
Since then, I’ve worked with some of the world’s most recognizable brands, including Intel, PayPal, eBay, AOL, LinkedIn, Johnson & Johnson, Unilever, Macy’s, IKEA, Jeep, Infiniti, Hyundai, Disney, Lionsgate and Sony Pictures. I also co-founded and ran three successful creative studios, leading creative initiatives in branding and technology as well as business development and client retention. Currently, I am Head of Product Design for Hulu, overseeing UX & Design for Living Room, Mobile and Web.

I thrive in a positive and supportive environment and I'm committed to building teams that are engaged and effective. I consider my team to be a part of my family and take great pride in watching them flourish.
 
I currently live in Los Angeles with my wife and budding-artist daughter, Paige, 9.
