Personal Projects

I have explored different creative disciplines throughout my life. My design career is one of them, but I enjoy many different outlets for my creative energy. Not all of it is here on this page, but I do enjoy different creative pursuits. In addition to that, in 2019 I cycled across the US on the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route, and will continue my cycling adventures all around the globe.

The Design Review Podcast

I co-host a unique UX podcast. We discuss a wide variety of topics, from UX reviews of new apps to principles of good design. We are consistently highly rated and have attracted a strong base of listeners. Please enjoy the show!

The Office Hours Project

I give my time to mentor other aspiring designers or folks looking for some extra professional coaching. I have always found mentorship to be rewarding. Feel free to schedule some time with me or anyone else on the platform!

Better Design Prompts

I built a simple random prompt generator to help people understand how context helps designers know what to create. Check it out!

Cycling the Camino de Santiago

In 2018, I cycled over 700km in Spain, on the Camino de Santiago, a historic pilgrimage route, with one of my good friends. We biked on mixed terrain, up mountains and down in valleys, and saw breathtaking coastal views. It was an incredible experience!

Cycling the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route

In 2019 I cycled from Helena, MT to the Mexico border in Antelope Wells, NM, following the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route. I completed it in 65 days, riding ~2100 miles across 5 states. It was a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, seeing parts of the country that I've never been to before and camping out in America's wild places.
