👋🏻 Hi, I'm Brett.

About

I'm an experienced Product Designer fueled by a passion for optimizing experiences and a deep fascination with emerging technologies. My career is a testament to creativity, leadership, and teamwork, consistently driving design innovation through thoughtful solutions and collaborative spirit. I thrive in environments where open communication and growth are paramount, and I believe every project is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact.

I'm currently leveling up taking the AI for Designers course from the Interaction Design Foundation, as I am particularly interested in how I can use this new tool in my design workflow. Continuous learning fuels my excitement and use of these innovative approaches on future projects. My strong foundation in problem-solving, user research, and design thinking, combined with my eagerness to learn, makes me a valuable asset to any team looking to push the boundaries of innovation together.

“Brett is a user focused designer that I had the pleasure to collaborate with for 6 years when at T-Mobile.”

Passions

Beyond pixels and prototypes, my creative spirit thrives in vibrant landscapes. From swirling galaxies birthed in the realm of generative AI to the tangible magic of 3D printing, my free time is a playground for experimentation and exploration. Every circuit soldered, every brushstroke on canvas, fuels my curiosity and informs my design approach. Even gaming becomes a laboratory of user experience, where I dissect mechanics and analyze player behavior. This constant thirst for learning keeps me pushing the boundaries of my craft, ensuring that every digital product I create is infused with the passion and innovation born from my diverse pursuits.
