professional experience

Experience counts.

My background in design, business, social sciences, and technology has prepared me to work with companies to become more successful innovators. Methods and design thinking can be used strategically and manifest themselves in companies by creating organic growth through flexible process, an open culture, and more compelling products and services.

Companies and clients with whom I have worked include:

Allstate, Amazon.com, Citidel Group, Four Points Digital, Hyatt, JAM Productions, John Deere, KBA Marketing, MCI, Microsoft, Navigant Consulting, Platinum Technologies, Phillip Morris, Miller Brewing, RadioWave, RollingStone, SAP, SPIN, Unilever, Universal Music Group, Yahoo!, among others.

academics

Two major institutions, thousands of pages read and written, dozens of relevant projects.

Undergrad degrees in Anthropology and Psychology from the University of Chicago got me started and a Masters of Design from the Illinois Institute of Technology's Institute of Design rounded out my thinking. Read what BusinessWeek thinks about the ID here: Tomorrow's B-School? It might be a D-School. I have also taken a sampling of courses at Bates College in Lewiston, Maine and at IIT's Stuart Graduate School of Business.

I am a big fan. You should be too.

flickr is fabulous and so are the people who run it. Not only does Flickr make you smell better, it also makes you more attractive. See my photos here: flickr.

website

I had some help.

I designed this site and own all related content but I didn't do it alone. Clint Barth is a smart guy, great designer and a CSS guru. Thanks Clint for helping me out.
