What Do I Do?

Throughout my career I’ve taken on a wide range of roles and honed an impressive array of skills. For a glimpse of the exciting projects I can tackle, here are some of my standout achievements:

Participated in production and leadership roles at InterPride, an organization dedicated to guiding Pride groups and events worldwide. Oversaw design for GlobalPride in 2020, a massive effort to reach LGBTQ+ audiences at the height of the pandemic.

Figured out the complicated math equations to place a user’s GPS location on a skewed illustrated park map with imaginary coordinates, and provide pathfinding directions to a selected destination even if indoors and spanning multiple floors.

Developed full stack web applications from the ground up, aiming to streamline user tasks and make internal processes more cost-effective and efficient for clients spanning the attractions to financial industries and more.

Engaged with the Orlando community and other nonprofit leaders to heal and work together in the wake of the 2016 Pulse tragedy. Served in participatory and leadership roles within the One Orlando Alliance, a coalition of over 40 local nonprofits.

Crafted the vision and drafted a team of leaders including some of the community’s largest businesses, government officials including the Mayor and tourism partners like Visit Orlando to assemble a world-class bid hoping to bring WorldPride to Orlando in 2026.

With anything from creating print newsletters to building online applications, I became a trusted marketing partner in building visually exciting campaigns and captivating materials for clients including within the real estate, leisure and hospitality industries.

Generated significant media excitement and online buzz with splashy, interactive bespoke design websites announcing some of the world’s most awaited and talked-about new theme park rides and attractions.

Integrated a myriad of APIs into the backend of website and application projects to import data from various sources, power dashboards and enable data visualizations to increase efficiency and reporting capabilities.

Crafted visual designs, organized the information architecture and coded innovative functionality for websites and apps of the world’s top theme parks and attractions, incorporating features that would become industry standards.

Served as a finance and technology committee member for IAAPA, doing the presenting, organizing and guiding of educational sessions on attractions industry innovations like VR, mobile technologies and virtual queueing.

Volunteered extensive graphic design and web design services to help market the 2014 Gay Games 9 in Cleveland + Akron to athletes and participants around the globe and help make the 10-day sporting competition THE local can’t-miss event of the summer.

Volunteered and led Come Out With Pride, having responsibilities including producing graphics and videos, speaking to media, and leading an army of volunteers to organize Orlando’s largest annual single-day parade and festival.

Why Work With Me?

View Article (11/20)

From a young age I developed a strong work ethic which persists today. I strive not for perfection (any designer will say there’s no such thing) but simply to go far above and beyond expectations. Here’s me in a nutshell:

Creative.

Perhaps it was growing up with LEGOs or maybe having the biggest box of crayons I could find. Whatever the root cause, my artistic side is evident across every project.

Logical.

Not to be outdone, my analytical side takes charge when defining project requirements, designing layouts or writing code to create optimal user experiences.

Passionate.

My work goes beyond the Monday to Friday 9-5 routine. I’m heavily engaged in volunteering and community endeavors, notably the fight for LGBTQ+ equality.

Curious.

I embrace change and love learning new skills. While I’m sometimes more “renaissance man” than expert, breadth of knowledge is always a tremendous asset.
