Experience

1. Founder·Gettymade
   Feb 2026 — Present·Remote

   Picking up where I left off with fractional design leadership and hands-on product services, but now more focused on helping companies create, adopt, and maintain Design Systems in the age of AI.

   Small teams have never been more capable — if they have the right foundation. AI is compressing what used to take departments into what a handful of people can ship, but only if they have the infrastructure to move that fast. That infrastructure is a design system.

2. VP of Product Design·QuickMD
   Mar 2024 — Feb 2026·Remote
   • Rebuilt a 3-person design team from chronic bottleneck to working a full month ahead of engineering without replacing a single person
   • Only product department lead to survive a company-wide leadership overhaul: new CEO, new VP of technology with a 50/50 team replacement, entire PM team replaced
   • Shipped 25 major features across patient, provider, and admin surfaces in 2025 while simultaneously executing a ground-up platform redesign and design system buildout.
   • Took ownership of accessibility compliance for the company, there was no prior accountability despite real legal exposure
3. Founder·Gettymade
   Apr 2022 — Mar 2024·Remote
   • Offered fractional design leadership and project-based design practitioner services, specializing in UI/UX, Product Design, and Design Systems.
   • Landed first agency client within one week of going independent, ramping to 30-40 billable hours per week immediately from cold outreach
   • Built sustained, multi-project partnerships with agencies and organizations including We Are Joy, JPL, and the American Heart Association
   • Managed full business lifecycle alongside delivery. Sourcing, pitching, scoping, closing, invoicing, and client management as a solo practitioner
4. Senior Product Designer·Andculture
   Mar 2021 — Mar 2022·Remote
   • Sole designer responsible for the entire UI/UX of NFPA Link, a platform digitizing the National Fire Protection Association’s century-old catalog of building and safety codes into a searchable digital library
   • Maintained, improved, and expanded the legacy design system inherited from another designer.
   • Navigated both technical and organizational complexity, designing offline-capable interfaces for field use while managing stakeholder politics with a century-old institution resistant to modernization
   • Conducted qualitative research with domain experts (inspectors, engineers, builders), turning alignment meetings into research opportunities through interactive prototype sessions
5. Principal Designer·Catamaran (Andculture)
   Nov 2019 — Mar 2021·Remote
   • Catamaran was the incubator/accelerator branch of Andculture.
   • Embedded with early-stage founders on a 4-person team as a full-spectrum product partner. Shaping business models, defining feature sets, building go-to-market strategies, and shipping front-end code. I even helped write a mobile iOS app, an opportunity I am glad for but do not care to pursue in the future.
6. Lab Director·Andculture
   Sep 2017 — Nov 2019·Remote
   • Directed a company-wide innovation program. Defined the structure, tracked progress across ~15 concurrent teams, and published a monthly newsletter with project updates and industry news.
   • Teams were fully self-organizing across a 60-70 person company. I rotated as a fractional member across teams each session, providing recommendations and unblocking problems
7. Interaction Designer·Andculture
   Sep 2013 — Sep 2017·Harrisburg
   • Grew from intern-level production work to leading the company’s largest and most complex projects in four years, including several multi-million-dollar client engagements.
   • Became the company’s go-to Design Systems specialist. I was building component systems using photoshop smart objects before Sketch or Figma hit the market. I wouldn’t recommend that now.
   • Expanded from production design into site architecture, UX strategy, wireframing, data visualization, and platform architecture. Co-architected full platforms including an LMS serving 10,000+ students and a custom-built CMS and modular development platform Andculture used for all major web projects.
   • Presented product work and success metrics to a room of ~300 executives as one of two presenters, followed by live Q&A
8. Design Intern·Andculture
   Jun 2013 — Sep 2013·Harrisburg
