Hello 👋

I’m Shawn, a user experience designer, innovator, artist, recording studio owner and musician residing in Madison, NJ. I have been working in the world of art and interactive design for more than 15 years getting my hands dirty with user experience and leading teams.

I graduated from the University of Hartford with an honors degree in Communication and also hold a certificate in User Experience Design from New York University.

I’m endlessly curious about design and technology and where they intersect. I love collaborating, and my favorite collaborations are the ones that blur the lines between titles.

Currently I’m a Senior Lead UX Designer at ADP.

Some nice things people have said about me…

“I had the pleasure of hiring and working with Shawn at Optum (Unitedhealthcare's technology group). I carefully selected Shawn after 30 interviews and was pleasantly surprised how quickly he aligned with our team. Shawn was initially assigned a very complex project and soon won the confidence of the client team as well as those supporting him. Shawn was easy to work with and has a strong work ethic, combined with his technical ability and creativity he was a gifted addition to the team. I look forward to working with Shawn again.”

“Shawn is one of those people you know instantly that you want (need) on you team. While many people are selfishly looking out for themselves, he looks out for his colleagues. A quality I admire and seek out when building my teams. I not only worked with him, but worked along side him. A collaborator of the first order. A talent beyond his peers. Simply put, Shawn knows what he is doing, does it extremely well and all with grace and kindness. Never in a rush (but nails deadlines), never pushy. Extremely talented. Extremely humble.”
