About me
I’m a music nerd...
I received degrees in piano performance and audio engineering and eventually helped run audio for for The Weeknd, Kamasi Washington, & Snoop Dogg concerts, studio sessions, as well as taking on composing and sound design projects for about six years.
...who fell in love with design
In my spare time, I became increasingly obsessed with learning how to design and code. So when an opportunity presented itself to switch from music to design, I dove in head-first. Since then, I've worked on many interesting projects at Hilton Global, DIRECTV and ItList as well as a variety of agency works.
Personal bits
I’m a devoted father to a one-eyed cat named Sushi. 😉 Nicknames include ‘Sushka’, ‘Furnooshka’, ‘Sashimi’, & ‘Furmuffin’
I also have a magical doggie named Soda Pop. 🐶 Nicknames include ‘Sodie Malodie’, ‘Minisoda’, & ‘Bologna Pop’
I’m first-generation Ukrainian. My extended family still mostly lives there. Слава Україні! 🇺🇦 💪
Hobbies include backpacking, snowboarding, learning the cello, experimenting with new technologies, and game dev.
Past projects
Design competencies
Workflows and workshops
Generate ideas, kick off projects, streamline processes, and drive positive user and business outcomes.
Research + Testing
Asking the ‘right’ questions is one of the biggest challenges in product strategy. I can help teams align research to user and business goals.
Design Specs
Detailed flows and specifications for product and dev on how the design should function.
Prototyping
I can help teams prototype and test at any fidelity to reduce risks for projects large and small.
Analytics & metrics
I have a strong grasp of what product analytics can (and can't) tell you. I've set up event pipelines from 0 to 1 to inform intelligent product decisions.
Accessible by default
I strive to produce work that doesn't break due to cognitive, visual, auditory or motor impairments. Great design makes accessibility a first class citizen.
Tools I use
I’m constantly learning new tools to get the job done as quickly as possible.
