The story so far

I have been lucky enough to work with some really great teams and to have mentors who trusted me to do work that I was wildly unqualified for at the beginning of my career. I find that jumping in the deep end is a great motivator to learn and to learn fast. That mentality has served me well. I've been able to work with publicly traded companies, universities, founding teams and everyone on in between. I've been able to work on projects ranging from agriculture, to ecom, to vertical saas and insurance, learning a ton about these industries in the process. While there has definitely been some bumps in the road, my approach has not changed all that much. Dive in, be curious, be willing to fail and, more importantly, be willing to own it when you fuck up.

That dive-in mentality brought me to NYC in 2022 after I joined Cake & Arrow as a lead product designer in 2021. At the end of 2023 I left C&A an started consulting.

Currently I work with a couple growth stage teams at one time. From industrial manufacturing systems to labor market places im always learning something new and solving business problems with great design.

Whats Next:

Continuing to design great products with great people. I'm currently contracting and have some availability opening later in the year - if you have a project in mind reach out, i'd love to chat and help out in any way I can.

More about nothing:

Outside the office (aka my apartment) you'll find me doing all the normal things, reading books in central park, marathon training on the west side highway and trying not to be the cliched NYC transplant. When i'm back home in Minnesota i'm on the golf course, restoring my '61 Ford F100, or just kicking it with my friends and family on one of the 10,000 lakes.

Whether strolling through Brooklyn or cruising the back roads, its always more fun with a sound track. Each year i have a new playlist for songs that are in heavy rotation. Here's what we got so far in 2024.
