About.

With over 10 years of experience, I’ve had the pleasure of working with many talented people alongside some incredible agencies, companies, labs, and startups. Operating within a broad range of disciplines, my focus has been crafted around one key principle – focus on the user and all else will follow. My specialty lies within product strategy, user experience, user research, usability, information architecture, interaction, and visual design.


Over the years I’ve gained additional experiences within development, creative direction, video production, motion graphics, augmented reality, virtual reality, leadership, and management roles.

I’m currently a Principal User Experience Designer at Thermo Fisher Scientific driving full end-to-end product strategy, UX and visual design across various global cross-functional agile product teams for Account & Identity, Shopping Tools and Foundational portfolios of FisherSci.com. Partnering with stakeholders, business leaders, product management, and customer insights to inform strategic human-centered, data-driven design thinking that answers user needs and expectations by enhancing engagement and revenue on our commerce platforms.

Aside from all this, I dig loud music, play drums, guitar, and piano, toured the east coast within an indie pop-punk band, achieved a black belt in various forms of martial arts, enjoy reading, video games, home automation, technology, and acquiring additional skill sets.

Thanks for stopping by.

“I had the pleasure of working with Bob on Thermo Fisher’s UX team and got to witness his talent and passion for design. I recently worked with him on a project where he was the UX solution owner and we were dealing with complex workflows that spanned multiple personas, services, products, and internal teams; Bob collaborated closely with stakeholders across the different services and products to simplify the workflows and generate elegant and easy-to-follow solutions for users. In addition to producing standout work, he was a great coworker who was always willing to help out anyone on the team and share his expertise.”
