Hi, I’m Joe. I’ve been merging design mastery & business acumen to lead teams in creating great experiences for over 15 years.

About Me


My career has been a rich blend of design, technology, and strategic leadership. This journey has led to two successful startup exits and collaborations with world-class brands like Walmart, Ubisoft, Gary Vaynerchuck, Zappos, and others.

I’m currently exploring how teams can leverage emerging technologies like mixed reality, AI, and web3 to further enrich user experiences.

Check out some of the work I’ve done & led.
