Hi, I'm Brett, a Senior UX Designer. Currently simplifying complexity for Sherwin Williams.
Hi I'm Brett, a senior
product designer. I design software for the way people think, move, and engage.
My approach to product design is shaped by decades of studying human perception, embodiment, and skillful interaction. Drawing from philosophy, visual communication, and front-end development, I create digital experiences that align with the way people naturally think, move, and engage with software—ensuring every interface is not just functional but truly intuitive.

This site is more than a place to showcase my work—it’s a practice of thoughtful reflection and continuous improvement. Taking the time to document and analyze past projects allows me to refine my thinking, sharpen my skills, and evolve my approach as a designer.
By structuring case studies as detailed narratives, I create space to consider what worked, what didn’t, and how I can apply these insights moving forward. This kind of deep engagement isn’t just about presenting past projects—it’s about cultivating the kind of rigorous thinking that leads to better design decisions in the future.
