About
With a passion for efficiency, and effective design, my focus is helping design and development teams build and maintain thoughtful design systems. With a background in Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) and multi-brand organizations, my experience has taught me the value of scale; using atomic design principles and modern development methods to bridge the gap between design and development.
Aside from my career, I'm a husband, a father of two, and an avid cyclist.
