About

I’m Gerard. Born and raised in New Jersey, I am a golf-obsessed sports fanatic, a collector who has amassed an astounding assemblage of whiskey, and a coffee lover who is always on the prowl for flavorful beans from independent roasters.  My wife and I enjoy traveling and have fallen in love with the beaches and sunsets of southern California.  I am a fervent believer in Human-Centered Design and Design Thinking, and am inspired by the teachings of David Kelley. I’ve been fortunate to lead research, strategy, and design for industry leaders, including American Express and Fiserv. In addition to my professional experience, I earned a Master’s degree in User Experience Design from the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA).

Let’s discuss my approach.
