    Recent Work: Happy Cog

    Design Systems for Products and Brands

    As Design Director at Vector Media Group (we’d eventually grow to acquire Happy Cog and rebrand) my role had two sides: designing for user experience and leading a small team of talented designers. During my tenure, we had transformed almost everything about how we work: new processes in place, a growing team, and a handful of great success stories.

    Content Strategy and Modular Design

    Tasked with building a new website for a company of 18,000 employees and countless network partners spread around the world, we designed both a content strategy and a system of modular components.

The success of this project led to furhter work designing tools for our client's internal teams.
