I'm an Iowa native who has spent most of his career designing and developing for digital and print mediums for various organizations across the world. I focus on making high-quality, content-focused, data-backed, responsive websites for the progressive web.

As a former journalist and infographics designer, I enjoy breaking large problems down into small, bite-sized pieces helping my clients understand their user bases immediate needs while also imagining how they might push the boundaries and be truly innovative.

I pride myself on solutions that are simple to use and elegant to experience. I listen. I reflect, amplify, and enhance the mission of your organization, your audience, and your specific project. To do this successfully, I use an agile approach, and a flexible attitude to maximize satisfaction and input. No problem is too small or too large.

My most recent work includes taking a telehealth consortium from JV to varsity (their words not mine), developing a strategy for and implementing a tool to validate content related to the ongoing COVID-19 health crisis, and helping a Chicago non-profit enhance their digital presence. Have a look at a few case studies below.

  • National Consortium of Telehealth Resource Centers

    The National Consortium of Telehealth Resource Centers (NCTRC) is a collaborative of 12 regional and 2 national resource centers, committed to implementing telehealth programs for rural communities. My company - Made by Munsters - partnered with them in early 2020 to help them rethink, redesign, and redevelop their consortium’s marketing website.

  • COVID-19 Analyzer

    With just a few days before the start of a new semester, a few professors from Northwestern’s Medill School of Journalism asked my team to help them quickly plan and implement a new, online course for their students. The COVID-19 analyzer provides multi-dimensional coverage of the pandemic, shedding light on stories that receive little coverage elsewhere.
