About

My birth certificate says Robert, but everyone calls me Bob.

I'm currently a principal designer at Everfi designing products, components, and tooling to help drive social good through education. These things have allegedly reached more than 45 million learners globally.

Since 2021, I've been leading the implementation of a unified design system across admin, educator, and learner-facing products. Read a bit about that process here.

To get in touch, you can find or reach me here:

Starting in 2018, I led the creation of our product organization's first design system, shepherding its transition from an unstyled SDK into an accessible component library with theming and tooling to support 80+ courses across a dozen branded product lines.

Some other things I've done:

  • Led design efforts for adult & K12 e-learning courses at EVERFI, including Achieve, Engage, and Data Science.
  • Worked on education products for customers such as Google, Meta, LinkedIn, Kroger, Beyond Meat, Truist, and more.
  • Delivered a (now relevant!) thesis on chatbots and conversational interface design at MICA
  • Built a mapping application at NPR when I wasn't busy standing awkwardly in the background of Tiny Desk recordings
  • Designed web & iOS screens, performed user testing, and made some social media assets for Parking Panda
