Hi! I’m Casey.

What folks have said about me…
I was blown-away at Casey's understanding of product design, accessibility, user experience, and design systems.
He is incredibly intelligent, able to quickly diagnose the root cause of large problems, has a great understanding of technical requirements for building user interfaces, and is not afraid to talk shop with engineers (nor does it seem out-of-place when he does).
I cannot imagine a better individual to drive forward the culture and productivity of any design or design system team.
–Derek, Hudl
Casey’s one-weird-trick to crossing the designer/developer chasm is to simply be an expert of both disciplines.
He’s like the 80-year-old cast iron pan on your nana’s range—dependable, indispensable, and weirdly good at too many things.
–Kyle, RetailMeNot / Indeed
"Casey is the best designer I've ever worked with– a rare breed in that he has business and marketing intelligence to complement his expertise of Design and UX.
I highly recommend Casey for marketing, design, and management positions."
–Mitch, TabbedOut
Casey is an innovative, bold designer and leader who pushes colleagues to question assumptions and established thinking.
He prizes full-team involvement, and understands the importance of documentation and clear communication— he believes products and processes can always be improved, and works hard to make that so.
