Building with Passion
Hi, I’m Sean — a passionately people-first user experience and interface designer with a unique perspective and highly complementary skill set honed through diverse experience in marketing, entrepreneurial ventures, and the prosumer tech industry.
I enjoy pushing the envelope. Every project is an opportunity to beat back a boundary or two, tell a new story, and create something uniquely memorable.
With a rare blend of hands-on design expertise, business acumen, and user-focused thinking, I’m driven to craft human-centered solutions that fully leverage my media-centric background to create intuitive and engaging digital experiences that produce significant value for end users and the company alike.

A Lifetime in the Arts
Coming from a family of visual artists, engineers, and craftsmen, my first artistic leanings were toward sketching and construction (of my own transforming robot toys, made with cereal box cardboard and brass brads for moving joints). Scholastic art contests followed... as did selling templatized versions of some of my more popular drawings on the schoolyard!

Music Career
From teen obsession, to professional sideman, to artist
My greatest passion for 70% of my life was playing and recording music - specifically with the bass guitar and vocals - and the pursuit of a career in performance, recording, and private instruction. Extraordinarily dedicated to pursuing mastery and excellence from the age of 13 on, that passion and drive led me to realize all those aspirations, and more! It was the locomotive force behind my linking up with Bass Gear Magazine as a Staff Writer and putting my creative writing, video production, and product specialist skills to work, and in subsequently becoming a well known figure within the world of bass guitarists and pro-level musicians due to my unflinching ambition and highly visible creative output. I released several commercial alblums, played on many others, was featured in magazines, enjoyed artist endorsements and a signature preamp partnership; in short, I scaled what was the biggest mountain in my life. And after enjoying some time at what was realistically going to be the pinnacle for me, I realized there were other mountains still!

Family
I've been exceptionally lucky to have met and married the love of my life 15 years ago now, and even luckier to get to be Dad to our two kids, Riley and Liam. Cássia was a newly landed Brazilian (and now American as well) au pair working on an island close to Seattle, and from the moment we met, we were nearly inseparable. Travel is incredibly important to us, and aside from going back to Brazil when possible, we love to visit new countries and regions with the kids, as I did growing up. More on that below...

Travel
Growing up the son of two US diplomats, I was born and largely raised abroad, developing a deep affinity for different cultures, cuisines, languages, and environments. Religiously traveling each year of my 20s on my own and continuing now with my own family, I've checked more than 35 countries off the map - and counting!
