Varied Mediums
A random smattering of design, music, art, books, and other fruitful pursuits.
Seattle Sound
Illustrator
As an illustrator for Seattle Sound Magazine and its parent company, Media Index Publishing, I had the privilege of capturing the essence of key figures in music and film to accompany multiple cover stories and feature articles. My portfolio also includes several original concepts borne of my own initiative. Leveraging a comprehensive body of work and the recognition it garnered, I had the honor of presenting my work at several exhibitions hosted across diverse venues in Seattle.
Media Production Company
Consultant
Product Design, Marketing
ThirdPlanet Productions connects experts in art, tech, and marketing to create captivating multimedia experiences that inspire environmental and spiritual wellness. The projects merge artistry and business to drive profit and contribute to environmental preservation.
I was recruited by ThirdPlanet as a multifaceted consultant, overseeing web design, brand management, and various marketing initiatives. I created online identities for the company and its products, and managed the company's websites to ensure they remained on brand and up-to-date with new products and promotions.
I also designed interactive menus and packaging for Blu-ray products and edited trailers for several feature films.
20 years before Netflix’s interactive flop Black Mirror: Bandersnatch, I convinced the Media Arts program at the prestigious University of Michigan to accept a choose-your-own-adventure DVD as my senior thesis.
Over the following decade, I expanded my expertise in graphic and motion design, multimedia production, and software design for clients such as Amazon, Disney, Target, and Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas.
In 2012, I centered my professional focus on integrating and executing UX design within game development. From there my role and scope quickly evolved from Individual Contributor to Team Lead, from Department Manager to UX Director, and eventually to Creative Director with a team of over 40 talented game developers closely collaborating to turn our shared vision into a compelling and immersive experience.
