As the younger crowd continues to defect from light beer toward crafts and cocktails, we saw a chance for Miller Lite to reconnect with them over a shared passion for live music and redefine what it means to be a festival sponsor. Instead of simply buying pouring rights and stage signage, Miller Lite helped pave the way for up and coming musicians and their fans to make it to one of summer’s biggest stages.

I had the honor and privilege to speak at a CreativeMornings event in Chicago. The theme was ‘Restart’. Restarting is essential. It’s a way to digest experiences, reflect and cultivate self-awareness, and remind ourselves that life is to be enjoyed. It's refreshing and feeds greater intention and momentum into our creative endeavors.

I shared about the barriers I face during my creative process along with tips and techniques I use to get through them.

I art directed and produced Notes To Self, a zine featured on social media that celebrates the meaningful moments often overlooked in bike riding. While the culture around cycling frequently focuses on personal records and fastest times, this project aimed to shift the narrative toward the experiences that truly matter. Through handcrafted designs brought to the digital space, the zine emphasizes reflection, connection, and the joy of the ride, encouraging a more mindful approach to cycling culture.

Challenge: The horizontal aspect of the elements made it difficult to add new content and features to the product page, which limited our ability to improve the user experience.

Approach: We overhauled the page layout visually and on the backend to better prepare for feature updates. We’re collecting research to better understand user pain points and other key issues.

My Role: Connecting overall business strategy with a design strategy to ensure our most visited page produces good results.

Dropbox has been ramping up their involvement in the broader LGBTQ community in recent years and commissioned my wife and I to design the logo for their employee group, Pridebox.

As part of a major redesign effort, our team took on the challenge of revamping a suite of digital tools that were in dire need of an update. We started by conducting extensive user research to identify pain points and areas for improvement, and used this feedback to inform our design approach. Over the course of several months, we iteratively designed and tested a range of new features and interfaces, including streamlined navigation, simplified workflows, and improved visual design. The end result was a suite of digital tools that not only looked and functioned better, but also delivered a vastly improved user experience. Our work has been met with great success, with users reporting higher levels of satisfaction and engagement, and the company as a whole benefitting from increased productivity and efficiency.

In 2014 Felt Bicycles was breaking into the electric bicycle market. German technology and California engineering produced a product that would lead the revolution. The new series needed an equally breakthrough marketing launch. A full scale program was developed which included events, influencer content, video story telling, swag, in-store displays and a new website. All of which was held together with a fresh design language fit for the new demographic.

The Road Team at SRAM was always off the front with apparel trends. For 2017, we developed a pattern system centered around Red. From toile to splatter, the road pattern showed up on a big scale. Jerseys, shirts, accessories, event wallpaper, and retail display. It was so well received, it was featured in studio product shots.

SRAM was developing an Internal and external women’s development program. I proudly served on a committee who’s mission was to help retain and recruit women within the cycling world.
