Hey, I'm Scott

I've been a UX manager, design system leader, and front-end specialist since 2004. My expertise spans user experience, product design, accessibility, usability, web standards, design systems, and design methods.

Currently Manager of Design at Ad Hoc driving UX strategy, design systems, and accessibility for VA digital services. Alum of 18F and NIC Inc.

I've spent my career enhancing digital experiences for U.S. citizens by simplifying complexity, integrating scalable design systems, and championing accessibility. With a passion for human-centered design, I bridge UX leadership and technical execution to drive impactful solutions. I thrive in collaborative spaces, mentoring teams, aligning workflows, and turning design principles into real-world impact.
