Hi, I’m Mitch.

I’m an earnest professional who understands that the best solutions evolve from the most trusted relationships. I believe in finding common ground between customer outcomes and business goals rather than asking for permission or forgiveness. I share project ownership, encourage open communication, and keep the drama where it works—in the design!

I’m committed to inclusivity in the workplace and the products I develop. I bring a hard earned mastery of UX/UI concepts, a strong belief in the test to learn approach, and a lifelong love of excellent design. Still, I find my humor, humility, and lead-by-example work ethic have been my greatest assets in building successful teams who’ve done ground breaking work.

 

Featured Projects

UPS Tracking & Shipping

We made it even easier to UPS customers to access the services they've come to rely on through online, mobile, chat and voice-enabled experiences.

Ingram Micro Redesign

How do you build the airplane while flying? The answer is surprisingly simple: piece-by-piece. We simultaneously redesigned Ingram Micro’s ecommerce experience while building a sophisticated design system from the ground up. The result was a faster, sleeker, and overall better experience for its customers and internal users.

ProjectColor

With the ProjectColor app from The Home Depot, you can turn your design vision into reality by sampling all the colors of the visible spectrum to the perfect accent for your home decor.
