I am a product designer, software developer, user
experience designer, and visual designer with more than
30 years of experience. I combine technical and creative
ability with strategic vision, and possess the ability
to lead both creative and technical teams, as well as
deliver high quality work as an individual contributor
in both the design and engineering realms.
I have been involved in the artificial intelligence
space for the last decade, and I am interested in how
this rapidly advancing technology can be used by
creatives to enhance rather than replace their work.
