Hello! I’m Steve.
I’ve been leading teams and designing simple solutions for complex industries for over 20 years.
I lead teams designing web, mobile, and platform experiences in regulated, data-intensive environments, partnering closely with Product and Engineering to drive clarity, quality, and business impact.
My focus is on building strong teams, shaping sound design strategy, and delivering systems that scale.
I love to laugh - my dad jokes are pretty solid proof - and I look for levity and fun in all I do. When I’m not working, you’ll find me outside: roaming trails, kayaking, or just trying something new.

“[Steve’s] ability to foster a collaborative and active learning environment sets Steve apart. Always investing time in building personalized career paths and tracking our growth in design and non-design related skills.Steve advocated for a metric-driven approach within the design team and other teams that helped everybody focus on more impactful goals. On top of that, his design expertise is unmatched. Steve doesn’t just offer advice, but challenges you to think beyond the obvious and create solutions that "wow" everyone.”
