I solve complex design problems through minimal, thoughtful design.
I’m based in San Diego, California, and draw inspiration from the ocean and time outdoors with my family of 5. My approach is calm, collaborative, and grounded in unwavering commitment to push the boundaries with every new project.
I have 15+ years of experience in this field, and on year 10 of running an independent design studio. My passion is crafting custom visual design systems that are consistent, functional, and beautiful. My key approach is facilitating products to feel more human by creating lively and engaging visual design systems that appeal to us fellow humans. I am also the creator and CEO of Flaticons.co, a marketplace of premium vector icon sets.
