ABOUT

Currently a Senior Design Manager, championing re-commerce and modernizing UX at eBay.

BIO

I am a design leader with extensive hands-on experience developing creative, strategic and innovative digital experiences for some of the world’s biggest brands.

With a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Pratt Institute, where I majored in Communications Design/Graphic Design, I bring a solid foundation in visual communication to my role as a designer. Drawing from my education, I have honed my skills to craft user-centric experiences for events and digital platforms. With a passion for quality interaction design, I excel in creating interfaces that seamlessly blend creativity with functionality. My commitment to excellence extends beyond aesthetics, prioritizing intuitive navigation and engaging user experiences. Through my expertise and dedication, I strive to elevate design to new heights, leaving a lasting impact on users and stakeholders alike.

I currently live in Long Island, New York with my wife Lily and our beloved dog, Duke. When I'm not designing, I'm studying martial arts, reading non-fiction, and watching highly visual sci-fi flicks.
