I HELP BRANDS

SHOW UP

IN THE PRODUCTS

THEY SHIP

I design digital interfaces, design systems, and product experiences that feel undeniably like the brands behind them.

I HAVE OVER 20 YEARS EXPERIENCE DESIGNING DIGITAL PRODUCTS FOR COMPANIES WHO UNDERSTAND THEIR PRODUCT IS THEIR BRAND.

Your brand's motive should be felt by everyone who uses your product. I help teams build products that express it.

SELECTED WORK(5)

Most of my work lives under NDA. These are the ones I can show, or at least hint at, and they also happen to be my favorites.

Over several years and multiple engagements, I've worked alongside Peloton to navigate brand refreshes, build member motivation systems, and imagine new product experiences, all in service of a platform that feels as energetic and human as the brand itself.

At InVision I worked across product innovation, design systems, and brand, helping push the design tool forward, ensuring the system reflected the company's bold identity, and partnering to maintain a consistent digital ecosystem from marketing to product.

ShapeFactoryTM

Product DevelopmentBrand Expression

ShapeFactory is a design tools company I co-founded around a simple question: can we compress the most tedious parts of the design process into moments of speed and delight. Each tool is built around removing friction from work designers do every day.

Product EnvisioningDesign Systems

The Microsoft Envisioning Center was a living prototype for how technology would transform the way we live, work, and play. I led a small design team creating digital and physical experiences across a wide variety of devices, shown daily to inspire partners, leaders, and the occasional head of state around a future led by Microsoft.

From napkin sketches to on-set filming and final animations, I was part of the team behind one of Microsoft's vision videos, a provocative look at how emerging technology could reshape everyday life. Several products Microsoft shipped trace their origins back to concepts we explored here.

Outside of client work I build tools and products through ShapeFactory, a design tools company I co-founded.

I CHOOSE SMALL
ON PURPOSE

I run Motive as a solo practice, and that's intentional. Smaller means closer — closer to the problem, closer to the work, closer to you. You get my full attention on every project, not a fraction of it.
