Hi, I’m Brian.
I have been working in product design, user experience and experience strategy for 20+ years.
I am a bit of a Swiss army knife.
I have had the opportunity to work on a vast array of products, projects and global brands:
E-commerce, Omni-channel, B2B, Proprietary systems, mobile apps, Portals, CMS platforms, digital campaigns.
I have also worked in many different industries:
Retail, CPG, Pharmaceutical, Financial, Health, Grocery, Supply Chain, Vendor, Procurement, to name a few.
Designing, doing discovery connecting dots across complex ecosystems, solving hard problems to drive experience strategy. This is my happy place.
I like the mix of hats you have to wear. Detective, designer, researcher, techie, and learner are just pieces of my personality that align perfectly with the discipline.
Most recently, I have been working for Kroger Technology and Digital in Cincinnati Ohio. I lead Product Design teams that driving user experience design, research and experience strategy.
When I am not designing things, I can often be found hanging out near music, playing board games or hiking.
