A bit about my work experience...
I am a veteran user experience architect (product designer works too) with over 14+ years of experience leading research and design with multi-disciplinary teams to create innovative digital experiences via principled design and pragmatic deliverables for leading-edge organizations, including...
Objective
I enjoy design as long as the domain is interesting and the product valuable but prefer a full-time principal design role working on complex, wicked problems. I am best at helping companies or teams with generative AI, visualization, analytics, integrations, automation, healthcare, and other enterprise and mixed reality domains and technologies.
Experience
I have been a product designer of experiences across a broad range of fields including the industrial internet, collaboration, ideation, most enterprise business processes, CAD and manufacturing, as well as experiences in 3D modeling, rendering and animation, and virtual reality. Below are highlights from my career.
Soup to nuts - Visualization, Automation, Integrations, Developer support
Recently I led activities to elicit direction and strategy across Developer Services, Automation, and Administration products. I was hired to lead the design of the Insights visualization experience, which I led from ideation through release.
As others have said, Karl has an incredible ability to understand a complex problem space and ultimately deliver elegant design solutions. His ability to leverage his design and technical expertise is obvious and well documented. However, what has been most impactful to me is Karl’s ability and passion for teaching others.

Visualization, Industrial IoT, and Mixed Reality for big machines
It was an honor to work in the UX group of GE’s Global Research division working on visualization and industrial experiences. Among the many projects I led or worked on the best were building a gaming experience to teach the value of software for wind turbine farms and a tool to operationalize machine learning and physics analytics.

I had the pleasure of working with Karl for many years and he stands out as a design visionary. Whether it was consumer facing or enterprise application designs, you could count on Karl to conceptualize, prototype and articulate multiple compelling design options for even the most complex problems, in a very short timeframe. His design thinking was unique, insightful and in most cases revolutionary. Karl is a must have asset in any UX team that is looking to break boundaries and push innovation.
