Creative Principal

Cozy

I’m the Founder & CEO of Cozy, a small creative services agency based in San Diego, CA. At Cozy, we execute on my strange self-loathing around design, computers, and agencies in service of providing our clients all the creative they need and none they don’t. 

The goal is to alleviate worry — the creeping doubt that comes from needing design and content to convince the world you’re as good as you are. We got you.

Founder + Design boss

San Diego Digital Designers

SLACK ROOM + MEETUPS = COMMUNITY! 🙌
Discuss design, get feedback, land jobs, find tools, hire designers, commiserate, celebrate…

Introvert- and extrovert-friendly. Conversation, not networking. We are the low-maintenance hum of connection and energy between the big fancy-pants industry events. 

We’re here for lone rangers who miss humanity and big-teamers who need to connect beyond their clan. C’mon in (as long as you are, in fact, a digital designer in San Diego).

Information Architect

Founder + CEO at Cozy

With 25 years of experience in digital design, I’ve had the privilege of helping countless businesses — from startup to Fortune 50 —  navigate their design and marketing challenges.

On the SaaS product side, as a UX & UI design specialist, I’m particularly jazzed about making complex screens feel simple — even for expert users. I believe good design gets out of the way (for the user), but can be a powerful weapon (for sales).

On the marketing side, I focus on streamlining design as a vehicle for the real important stuff: content marketing and demand generation. I’ve seen how the right design can amplify a brand’s message and drive significant growth.

I’m the Founder & CEO of Cozy, a small creative services agency based in San Diego, CA. At Cozy, we execute on my strange self-loathing around design, computers, and agencies to provide our clients all the creative they need and none they don’t. 

The goal is to alleviate worry — the creeping doubt that comes from needing design and content to convince the world you’re as good as you are. We got you.

If you're interested in discussing UX/UI design, content marketing, demand generation, or anything in between, feel free to reach out. I’m always open to a good conversation.
