About

With over 20 years in the field, I specialize in designing user-centered and brand-innovative solutions. As a consultant, I've aided clients in creating cutting-edge products and services that drive business success while fostering a connection with users.

Having served as a senior art director at Google, Samsung, and Facebook, I later took on a leadership role in design at Samsung, where I collaborated with firms to integrate voice assistance on Samsung devices. I collaborated on updating Samsung's design system for various platforms with teams in the US and Korea, creating new user experiences and features for mobile devices, lifestyle products, and smart home devices.

As Head of Design at a startup, I worked with the Marketing Director on the site re-brand and social media campaigns, which led to increased sales and usage using design thinking to enhance ROI and generate leads.

Testimonials

“Tim is a very talented, motivated, and knowledgeable designer who takes a great deal of pride in crafting beautiful and engaging experiences in visual and voice user interfaces. What I appreciated most about working with Tim is his willingness to collaborate cross-functionally. It made for a more dynamic and rewarding experience as he sought out contributions from different teams to develop products. He also is very good at communicating design concepts and best practices to non-designers and I always felt like I came away from our interactions having learned something.”

He is always tinkering and looking for new and interesting ways to express his creativity.”

Tim is a gifted, experienced, and farsighted art director who has in many projects shown to have not just a keen eye for appealing, usable design, but for the implications on both the technical and the business sides as well.

“Tim is true design visionary that sees ways to elevate branding that I would never have thought of. As the first and only designer at Pronto, Tim eagerly dove into new marketing projects with me, producing our first eBook, revamping digital marketing assets, and strategizing on creative that would drive more engagement and leads. And it worked – results improved right away. In addition to his innate design sense, Tim is genuinely fun to work with, bringing optimism, curiosity, determination, some jokes, and wisdom to every conversation. Even in a chaotic startup environment, Tim's experience and thoughtfulness made it really enjoyable to partner on all things marketing.”
