Data visualization designer and creative technologist based on the west coast, with a M.S. in Data Visualization from Parsons School of Design — where he currently teaches Data Visualization 101. He was formerly the Global Director of Data Visualization & Prototype Design at Nike. All of his work for the last 6.5 years is under a NDA, which is why most of his public work is not his most recent.

Before Nike, he was a UI/UX Designer + Data Visualization Consultant at NBCUniversal in New York and a freelance graphic designer working with nonprofits and political consulting firms. Earlier in his career, he spent five years at The Democracy Collaborative, a political economics think-do tank in Washington, DC doing research, design, and communications work.

He studied philosophy — with a double minor in political science and environmental analysis & design — at UC Irvine, where he focused his studies on international fairness in climate change action and, separately, the epistemology of stand-up comedy. He started designing in 2004 out of personal curiosity and has worked as a professional designer in various capacities since 2008.
