About

With 20+ years of experience, I craft user-focused, innovative design solutions that strengthen brand identity. I’ve partnered with companies like Google, Samsung, and Facebook to develop forward-thinking products that drive business success and meaningful user connections. At Samsung, I led design initiatives across the US and Korea, integrating voice assistance and evolving the design system for mobile, lifestyle, and smart home products. As Head of Design at a startup, I collaborated on a site rebrand and social media strategy, boosting ROI and engagement through design thinking.

“Tim is a very talented, motivated, and knowledgeable designer who takes a great deal of pride in crafting beautiful and engaging experiences in visual and voice user interfaces. What I appreciated most about working with Tim is his willingness to collaborate cross-functionally. It made for a more dynamic and rewarding experience as he sought out contributions from different teams to develop products. He also is very good at communicating design concepts and best practices to non-designers and I always felt like I came away from our interactions having learned something.”

Testimonials

I had the pleasure and honor of working with Tim on redesigning the North Star Vision of the Home Loans at Zillow. Since day one, Tim demonstrated to be open and caring, showing me genuine support to understand better the team’s culture and space.

It didn’t take me too long to discover Tim's superior skill set as a designer. I was impressed by the quality of his designs and how quickly he could deliver multiple ideas aligned with the problem we were trying to solve. His mind works at full speed to solve and test different approaches to design problems to bring top-notch designs to the table.

Tim is also a great collaborator and communicator who makes sure that his designs are aligned with the product’s strategy and the insights collected from research, in compliance with the design system, and proactively seeks to validate the feasibility of his design solutions with the engineering team which let him test swiftly and iterate.

As a big plus, Tim is such a joy to work with; he is a true human-centered and empathetic design leader who is always ready to share his knowledge and listen to others. It was really fun to work with him, and I learned a lot from Tim.

“Tim is true design visionary that sees ways to elevate branding that I would never have thought of. As the first and only designer at Pronto, Tim eagerly dove into new marketing projects with me, producing our first eBook, revamping digital marketing assets, and strategizing on creative that would drive more engagement and leads. And it worked – results improved right away. In addition to his innate design sense, Tim is genuinely fun to work with, bringing optimism, curiosity, determination, some jokes, and wisdom to every conversation. Even in a chaotic startup environment, Tim's experience and thoughtfulness made it really enjoyable to partner on all things marketing.”
