Over the last two decades, Iโve helped launch dozens of software products and worked with courageous people to grow their businesses into multi-million or billion dollar enterprises.
In 2014, I co-founded Helm, marking Buffalo's first UX-focused design firm. Today, Helm has grown into a full-service product innovation studio that serves clients everywhere. Our teams work side-by-side with businesses, new and old, to grow them using ๐๐๐ฌ๐ข๐ ๐ง ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ๐จ๐ฆ ๐ฌ๐จ๐๐ญ๐ฐ๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐๐ฏ๐๐ฅ๐จ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ.
I started my professional career 20 years ago making animated graphics for a TV show on the Menโs Channel and websites for friends. From there, Iโve had the pleasure of working in the digital arena with ambitious early stage ideas like ๐๐ฎ๐๐๐๐ฅ๐จ ๐๐ข๐ฌ๐ข๐ง๐ , ๐๐๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ฎ๐ฌ ๐๐๐๐ฌ, ๐๐๐ ๐๐ฎ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ and more.
My journey, from fostering nascent ideas into flourishing companies, has always been driven by a singular mission: to transform ideas into tangible value. ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฌ๐จ๐ฆ๐๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฆ ๐ง๐จ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ .
Itโs this drive that steered the founding of ๐๐๐ง๐ญ๐จ๐ซ๐๐๐๐ค.๐๐จ๐ฆ, a SaaS company that enables people to help one another personally and professionally through mentorship meetings.
My commitment extends beyond the professional realm. Initiatives like OpenOfficeTime.com, BuffaloStartupMap.com and WNYfeedsthefrontline.org aren't just side projects; they're bridges connecting people and illuminating the economic landscape.
Buffalo isnโt just where I grew up; it's the heart of my professional journey. Each venture, whether in design, tech, or community building, seeks to spotlight untapped potential. As the founder of ๐๐๐ฌ๐ข๐ ๐ง ๐๐๐ ๐๐ฎ๐๐๐๐ฅ๐จ (Prev. Buffalo UX Meetup), Iโve seen our ecosystem grow, innovate, and challenge boundaries.
