My approach is collaborative, strategic, and hands-on, grounded in real-world constraints and long-term thinking.

Portfolio

This represents a small selection of my work. The majority of my projects were created for RSNA, where flagship digital experiences—such as the Annual Meeting “Meeting Central” websites and companion mobile apps—are rebuilt and replaced each year. As a result, many past versions are no longer publicly accessible once a new year launches. To showcase this work, I’ve created animated scroll-throughs using screenshots of the original websites and apps to reflect the live experience.
