I was most recently the Chief Product Officer of aboutLife. With a background in interaction design and full-stack software engineering, I drove aboutLife's product vision and execution for the first year and a half during which my cofounders and I successfully raised a multi-million dollar Series A round from great investors. Prior to aboutLife, I had been working on my personal data startup, Notion, building an app for discovering insights within your personal data.
I led the design team at hi5 Networks where I redesigned the virtual goods and social games systems used by 30M+ users monthly. While leading the team, I designed some of the company's most innovative products and features such as SocioPay, SocioPath, and Anonymous Social Gameplay. Additionally, I designed much of hi5's successor site, Magi, before moving on to start my own startup.
I have worked as a design and engineering consultant for such clients as Donna (by Incredible Labs, acquired by Yahoo!), AT&T (for their Speech API DevLab), TimePlay Entertainment, Marble Cloud Security, and several smaller startups such as Transcend Innovation, an educational startup in Chicago, and Twitpay one of the first social payments apps. I started in the industry as a one-person design and development shop for advertising/marketing agencies in Chicago and southern Alabama specializing in e-commerce and SEO.
