Work
A brief history
2024 – Today
Consulting and mentoring.
These days I lead design for a startup aiming to to raise hospitality technology to a new level while mentoring aspiring product designers and digital artists.
2022 – 2023
I led design for Endeavor/IMG event technology.
As VP of Design, I guided a distributed team of designers and researchers building platform services and products for live events like London’s Hyde Park Winter Wonderland and the 2024 Paris Olympics. In late 2023 I decided to leave a wonderful and thoughtful team to pursue some new personal and professional projects.
2020 — 2022
I helped founders learn from the world's best entrepreneurs.
As a founding member of Wait What Inc's technology team, I helped launch an app and course platform for the award-winning business podcast Masters of Scale.
2011 — 2020
I designed video experiences at TED.
The longest and most rewarding period in my career, I directed design for TED's video viewing experiences on web platforms reaching millions of people in over 100 languages worldwide. I also led several technical design projects for the live stage at TED's flagship conference in Vancouver and TEDGlobal in Edinburgh.
2007 — 2011
I connected a community of fans.
Co-founded by an ESPN executive (now President and CTO of Disney Entertainment), Fanzter was a bold startup with ideas ahead of its time. Our small company of 5 created an app enabling fan communities to form around products (and celebrities) they love by tagging them in any image on the Internet.
2003 — 2007
I built live sports apps at ESPN.
My team at ESPN pioneered the first ever live-updating scoreboards (a big deal at the time). I was later promoted to direct design for more live game apps and special editorial projects in partnership with SportsCenter.
2000 — 2004
Building a foundation
I gained essential experience about design, people and business at two of Colorado's best agencies while working with a wide range of clients in outdoor sports, finance, tech, academics and government research. Fun times!

I used to talk about design and design teams at conferences. I tend to listen more than speak these days, but here a few I'm proud of.
