Thinker. Doer. Designer.

I am a product designer with an extensive background in interactive creative direction and brand design.

I have spent the past seven years in product design, working at tech companies, Vacasa, TripActions (now Navan), and Discovery Education.

Prior to product design, I worked for interactive agencies as a senior creative, helping guide creative campaigns for a roster of global clients that includes Nike, Microsoft, Intel, Mountain Hardware, American Express, Janus Financial, InterContinental Hotels Group and Wells Fargo.

Who am I? A husband, a dad, a traveler, a coffee addict, a thinker, a creator, a doer, a designer. I have guided snowmobile tours in Colorado and served in the Peace Corps in Guatemala. I have lived in Portland for over a decade, via the Midwest, via the Rocky Mountains, via Central America and several stops in between. 

Big or small. Established brand or startup. I'm here to jump in and help your team take it to the next level.

Available for freelance in the Portland area or via remote.

Some nice things people have said after working with me.

"Billy is a thoughtful, skilled designer. He brings a breadth of experience, and can deftly take the lead on a wide range of design challenges--from traditional graphic design to UI/UX. A systems thinker with a collaborative attitude, Billy is an incredible team player and would be an asset to any team he's a part of."

"I've seen him take a global company through a complete social rebrand, juggle multiple high-viz projects like a boss..."

"I always loved working with Billy because I could count on him producing brilliant work no matter what crazy circumstances I put him in."

"I worked with Billy on photo shoots for the Nike.net website...He brought great energy, styling & propping know-how and excellent design sensibilities to the project during our pre-production meetings and while executing the shoots....Having him on set for the shoots was fantastic."

"I discovered during the job that Billy is that rare designer that can deeply articulate the strategic business needs behind every design recommendation that he makes. That would be a superpower in itself - add world-class creative combined with a great sense of humor and you get an invaluable colleague that directly equates to happy clients wanting more."

"It's a tall order to balance technology, usability and creativity and he consistently found the right mix. Then there's the fact that he's kind and funny and interesting. What a nice colleague!"

"He understands the creative landscape, has a great eye for design and what appeals to different audiences, and executes almost before you can finish your request."
