Hey! I’m Brian!

My Career Journey

My career has morphed and evolved throughout the years. I started in the 90’s as a CAD operator and have had roles and duties as a graphic designer, web master, UI designer, UI developer, scrum master, UX designer/researcher, and for the last several years a UX manager.

All of these roles have contributed to, and helped shape, the kind of UX leader I am today.

I love all equally - good design, my users, mentoring my people, & building and supporting strong teams.

How do I lead?

I lead with empathy, strategy, and a healthy dose of curiosity. My mission? To create environments where designers thrive, blockers vanish, and user experiences shine. I blend servant leadership with situational leadership — because no two teammates (or challenges) are the same.

I believe that when people are empowered to do what they love and are great at, magic happens. Happy teams build better products. Period.

Whether I’m mentoring a new designer, optimizing a process, or untangling a gnarly UX problem, I’m all in. My goal is simple: help individuals grow, help teams succeed, and help users feel like the product was made just for them.

Core Strengths:

  • Relationship Building & Coaching

  • UX Strategy & Design Leadership

  • Process Optimization & Problem Solving

  • Empowerment & Individual Growth

I enjoy time with family, home remodeling and DIY projects, playing guitar, and exercising either at the gym or at home.
