About

I accidentally went viral making products through TikTok comments--and I didn't have to dance! 12+ years bringing products to life & working with users to iterate. - Iterative design focus: rapid prototypes and user testing. - User-centered product designer: cutting the feedback loop by working with users at an early stage. - Builder of products: Fittr, TaskTree, StrandedVerse - Manager of teams: RadCollab founder managing designers, developers, sales, and marketing - Creator with marketing, editing, and community management experience. - Father of 3 daughters, working from home to watch them grow. - Lover of Fantasy novels, Sci-Fi movies, Graphic novels, and Indie games. In 2020, after a decade of being a full-time app design and development freelancer working with large companies and startups, I co-founded a design agency, Rad Collab. While marketing the agency, I started building products in public with a community I built on TikTok through hyper-transparency. We launched a product to 60k users in less than 3 months, and despite it being free to use with an option to pay to support, saw a 20% payment rate at an average of $1.12 per user. This is where I fell in love with designing and building alongside the community through rapid prototyping and hyper transparency. I've been making new products since I was in college when I launched a fitness app that used Machine Learning before that was an entire sector. I've always loved making new products, optimizing them with user feedback, and iterating on them based on what's happening.

Front-end Developer / UX Designer

Jul 2016 – Mar 2017 · 8 mos · Tampa

I worked on client projects in Shopify, Wordpress, and custom Web Apps. I really honed my skills in development here and designed and built some of the more web-app heavy projects. Additionally, I built and updated themes that were reused for retainer clients. Beyond that, I helped strategize and build a framework that helped lower development time.
