Previously, he was Head of Design at 18F, the U.S. government’s digital consultancy, and has spent two decades working between information architecture, service design & advising senior leaders. Recently, he organized the Portland Digital Corps and in 2024, organized Design For the Public conference. He is an ex-oficio board member & past president of AIGA Portland.
He is especially interested in how technology is used to mediate trust and what it's doing to civic life.
