Hi, I'm Jake. A design leader based in Arizona🌵

Design is a way of thinking, not just a thing you make. For more than 15 years, I've built it into a business capability — through systems that scale, craft that earns trust, and judgment that AI accelerates but can't replace.

Currently, I'm the Sr. Director of UX at McAfee, where I lead product design, content design, and UX research.

    Versapay
    VP of Design, Formerly: VP, Design and Product Marketing; VP, Brand and Content

    At Versapay, I most recently served as VP of Design. Over four years, I led teams across brand, product marketing, product design, content, and communications. I drove a full rebrand and category platform redesign, built a React-based atomic design system from the ground up, and partnered closely with product and marketing to launch new positioning, GTM campaigns, and AI experience principles. The result? A faster-moving org, a unified experience, and demonstrable growth.
