I am currently the Director of User Experience at Walgreens E-Commerce in Chicago. That means I'm responsible for the customer experience at the company’s websites, as well as in-store interfaces and mobile applications.

My background (and true passion) is in hands-on design. Beginning as an illustrator and visual designer, my career evolved along with the Web and the maturing practice of user experience design.

Medical Illustration

Back before we ever heard of the Web, I was trained as a medical illustrator. I don't do any medical illustration work these days, but here are some illustration samples to show that my master's degree amounted to something.

I also have a few stock medical and veterinary illustrations available for licensing.
