I'm Max, a usability advocate and product designer.

When I’m not designing or spearheading UI or UX projects, you’ll find me with a camera in my hand, knee-deep in a remodel (ok, waist-deep), or building something new, either with my hands or with my mind.

I've worked with numerous brands over 8+ years.

  • Binary Defense
  • Devine Chemicals
  • Kent State University
  • Afcona Additives
  • Bamboo Software
  • DeltHub
  • BEMO
  • Pressure Components Inc

Things I’ve made trying to put my dent in the universe.

Over the years, I have enjoyed working with some fantastic companies, alongside passionate teams, and on some exciting yet unique products. With various requirements, goals, and challenges, no single project has been the same.

I'm available for work. Let's team up on your next project!
