About Me

lets try to keep things

Professional

Over my 20-ish years of designing, I've worked at agencies, freelance, and in-house. As a freelancer, I've helped other agencies with their design work. This has included pitch and concept design, as well as production design on websites and apps. I am open to all sorts of opportunities. I'm very familiar working with different processes, requirements, and timelines.I love designing user-friendly interfaces that solve problems and I take great pride in my work.

Branding

Sometimes a project doesn't have a starting point. I can help work on logo design, typography, color and the larger overall brand.

Wireframing

Setting up how the site will work before jumping into visuals is very important. I can build low and high-fidelity wires to help get alignment before we jump into visual design.

Visual

I don't necessarily believe in pixel perfect design anymore because of all the different screen sizes these days. What I do believe in is creating the most visually appealing interfaces that bring delight and achieve the goals set out for the project.

Interactions and Animation

Seeing how a site will work is very important to stakeholders and developers. I can help create animations and transitions that help improve usability.

Here are some of the agencies and organizations I've had the privilege of working with.

LETS GET A LITTLE

Personal

Here are a few things about me.

My last name rhymes with toast.

95% of people say it with a short o, so it rhymes with frost.

I was born and raised in Northwest Indiana.

I'm proud of my Midwest updbringing.

I'm a fan of US Soccer, Notre Dame, San Diego FC, and the Chicago Cubs

I'm a sports fan and love watching them live. That is one of the reasons my wife and I started In the Stands.

Soccer is my favorite sport to play, but my body is starting to tell me it's time to stop.

I've been a fan of the game for pretty much all my life, but my brain still thinks I can do things my body doesn't want to do.

I love snowboarding, but I basically just cruise groomers.

I've never been a huge adrenaline junky, but there's just something about being out on the mountain.
