What I Can Do For You
I take on freelance and consulting work in three areas where I have real depth: UX research and design, AI agent systems, and electronic music education.
UX Research & Design
Usability testing, heuristic evaluations, accessibility audits, user interviews, and interaction design. Grounded in academic methodology from my MS program at Kent State and applied to real products.
- Moderated and unmoderated usability testing with full reports
- WCAG 2.1 accessibility audits with prioritized remediation plans
- Heuristic evaluations and cognitive walkthroughs
- Semi-structured interviews, affinity mapping, and JTBD analysis
- Interaction design for complex tools (creative software, dashboards, data interfaces)
I bring domain expertise that generalist UX designers do not have. If your product touches music technology, creative tools, or AI-powered interfaces, I already understand the users because I am one. My portfolio has the receipts.
AI Agent Design & Setup
I built and live with Clarence, a multi-agent AI system that runs 24/7 with memory architecture, scheduled automation, and multi-model routing. I can help you design and deploy something similar for your workflow.
- Personal or team AI agent setup with persistent memory
- Workflow automation with scheduled tasks and monitoring
- Multi-model routing (choosing the right AI for each job)
- Human-AI collaboration design: trust calibration, delegation boundaries, feedback loops
- Integration with your existing tools (Slack, Discord, email, CRM)
Most people offering AI consulting have built demos. I have built a production system that manages my schedule, monitors projects, runs nightly research panels, and remembers every conversation we have had. The difference between a demo and a tool you actually depend on is where all the hard design questions live.
Electronic Music Education
Thirty years of electronic music production and a decade leading Pittsburgh's Ableton User Group. I teach Ableton Live, synthesis, sound design, and the creative thinking behind making electronic music that matters.
- One-on-one Ableton Live lessons (beginner through advanced)
- Synthesis fundamentals: subtractive, FM, granular, wavetable
- Sound design workshops for groups or teams
- Creative process coaching for producers who feel stuck
- Curriculum design for music technology programs
I have been in rooms with beginners and professionals for years. I know where people get stuck because I have watched it happen hundreds of times. The Ableton User Group taught me that the best music education meets people where they are, not where the manual assumes they should be.
