Civically-minded Product Designer, making the complex simple

I led the product direction and design of Dovetail from PRX, an enterprise-level podcast publishing platform, including the Dovetail marketing website.

I redesigned Dovetail's podcast publishing workflow to be more intuitive while leveraging the design system established in Dovetail's Inventory application.

Part of human-centered design is to meet the needs of a user group and hope it scales. Designing the inventory system in this way has led to a lot of success for the platform, as I wrote in this post.

Designed the initial brand for the new PMI, a non-profit funding digital public media infrastructure. The client called it 'connection in the valley' and wanted a simple text-based, metallic look.

A single-page experience leveraging bold colors and inline audio to tell the story of PRX's fiscal year. I designed the report and did the bulk of the development work.

Led design and development on the 2024 edition of the Annual Report. It focuses on photography, color, and typography to tell PRX's story for the year.

The PRX Resource Development team wanted an experience around the theme of 'Choose your own Adventure'. I led a design process to flesh out the concept and designed style tiles based on the theme before development.

Redesigned the website for The World, a public media broadcast program, around a privacy-focused point of view in the hopes of a sustainable public media digital model.

Led a human-centered design process to develop interactive ideas based on Carolyn Beeler's reporting trip for The World to Antarctica. I designed this interactive focused on seals and their experiences as they dive deeper into the cold ocean.

While I did not design the Metrics app within Dovetail, I did get a chance to write about it for the PRX blog.

An article I was commissioned to write for City Pages, leading to me submitting an entry into the Rochester, MN flag contest.

The version City Pages, RIP, posted of my Minneapolis skyway map and signage concepts.

The final installment in a series I wrote for PRI on the New Zealand flag referendum.

The second installment in a series I wrote for PRI on the New Zealand flag referendum.

The first installment in a series I was asked to write for PRI on the New Zealand flag referendum.

I was part of a trio of advisors from NAVA to the Illinois Legislature in their attempt to change the Illinois flag. See Page 45 of report for contributions.

My concept for a new flag of Minnesota was selected as a finalist by the State Emblems Redesign Commission. Here I attempt to answer a lot of questions about the flag that became affectionately known as Starflake.

The latest version of my Massimo Vignelli inspired Skyway map of Minneapolis.

This flag won round 1 of the Rochester flag contest, a contest I entered after panning their current flag in City Pages.

This is my concept for a new flag for the city of Minneapolis, and some of my most meaningful work.
