Hello.
My name is Clay.
A full-stack designer from Kentucky.
I love turning ideas into experiences. From crafting clean, thoughtful interfaces to building the underlying functionality that makes them work, I live for every step of the process, blending creativity with problem-solving. There’s nothing better than seeing a concept come to life from first sketch to that first interaction.
With 15+ years of professional experience, I've been involved in every step of the creative process.
For me, the greatest thrill is guiding a project on its journey from a simple concept to a polished product that people genuinely enjoy using. It's the sweet spot where pixels meet purpose.
I'm a hands-on designer who bridges the gap between concept and code. I enjoy the entire process: building design systems from color and type research, creating mockups in Figma, and using feedback to perfect the vision. Then, I get to bring it all to life. Each step has its own unique challenges, and I love applying a diverse set of skills to solve them.

Great ideas don’t happen in silos. Sharing and syncing up keeps the creativity flowing and the output top-notch.
Throughout my career I’ve partnered with exceptional, diverse teams. Yet every team is just one piece of the puzzle. Design projects are only possible with the support of an entire village.
I make it a point to keep communication open across teams, welcoming feedback and sharing creative solutions along the way. While I own the project from start to finish, fresh perspectives often spark unexpected ideas which lead to those aha moments, and that is where the real magic happens.
